Basketball's governing body has rejected Greece's appeal of two player suspensions stemming from a brawl in a game against Serbia. Patrick Baumann, FIBA's secretary general, said the punishment given to Antonis Fotsis and Sofoklis Schortsanitis will stand, and the players will miss the first two games of the world championships that open Saturday.
