Both Mayen and Baynes were ejected from the game before the third quarter began.<\/p>\n

"I unreservedly accept that my conduct was unacceptable, and I have fallen short of the standard expected of a representative of the Brisbane Bullets and the NBL," Baynes said on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

"I wish to sincerely apologise for my actions."<\/p>\n

Forde was cleared of any wrongdoing by the league.<\/p>\n

"Despite all the public speculation, I remained silent during this investigation as I felt this was the best course of action," Forde said.<\/p>\n

"It has been difficult to remain quiet given all the accusations, but I have been comfortable knowing that once footage and audio was obtained, I would be cleared of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

"The unedited and original CCTV footage and audio shows I was outside our team's change-room and proves I did not start the verbal conversation or instigate any physical exchange.<\/p>\n

"I would like to thank the Cairns Taipans for their support during this process, the NBL and the Cairns community."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
