ANTIPOLO—PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial confirmed on Tuesday night that he has invited Converge winger Calvin Abueva to his office the day after regarding the latter's actions late in Game 4 of the Governors' Cup quarterfinals against Rain or Shine.

Abueva was thrown out of the game with 4:18 left in the third quarter after incurring two technical fouls for flopping.

However, before heading to the FiberXers' dugout at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, he hurled some choice words, apparently taking it out on the officiating of the game, and he even asked reporters who were covering the game if they thought he flopped or not.

Now in street clothes, Abueva then went out of his locker room and shouted some taunts to the ROS bench when Converge finally won the game, shouting "Bora!" and flashing the dirty finger at one of them.

This is the second time this conference that Abueva is facing a sanction, as he too was summoned to the PBA headquarters in Quezon City regarding a verbal spat with Magnolia head coach LA Tenorio.

A fine awaits the enigmatic former Rookie of the Year.
