76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz, who is playing for his native Turkey at EuroBasket this summer, was attacked by several Georgia players following Georgia’s 88–83 win over Turkey on Sunday.
Turkish federation vice president Omer Onan confirmed the incident to reporters at the event on Sunday.
“While Furkan Korkmaz was walking in the hallway to the locker rooms with our trainer, Georgia’s players who were not on the active roster attacked him together with the ejected player (Duda Sanadze) and the police,” Onan said, according to Bleacher Report.
“There should not be an attack on the player that goes to the locker room.
