In a European Championship that ended today, the Turkish men's basketball team lost to Georgia 83-88.
In the second half of the game, there was a dramatic scene between the two sides.
The Turkish player, who now plays for Philadelphia 76ers guard Kolkmaz, was slammed down by his opponent in an offensive attack.
Displeased, he immediately approached georgian player Duda Sanadze to theorize (bumper).
After a brief argument, perhaps kolkmaz did not get the desired result, he pushed Sanaze with his hand.
Not to be outdone, the latter tried to slap back, but did not hit, and was subsequently expelled from the field.
I thought that this conflict would end with the punishment.
But what I never expected was that on the way back to the locker room, the situation escalated, from a verbal battle to a fist and foot combination.
In the corridor outside the door of the Turkish men's basketball team, Kolkmaz, without any defense, was suddenly beaten by three Georgian players.
According to journalist Semih Tuna, about 30 security guards were also involved in the clashes and Turkish players were shoved.
At present, FIBA has opened an investigation, and if confirmed, Georgia will face a ban penalty.
The Turkish Basketball Association, believing that the punishment was too light, strongly stated that it needed to be monitored on the spot in the corridor of the locker room.
Otherwise, the team will be withdrawn from the tournament in its entirety.
It is worth mentioning that among the three Georgian players who hit people this time, it also includes Pacers backup center Bitazer.
The latter is 23 years old, 2 meters 13 tall and weighs 113 kilograms, which is the first round of 18 picks in 2019.
Last season, Beatazer averaged seven points, 3.5 rebounds and shot 52 percent from the field.
After Sabonis left, his playing time doubled.
He, who had hoped to become the starter in the new season, may become the fuse that will make the management discouraged because of this conflict.
After all, things are worse, the influence is huge, and no team will be willing to develop a player with violent tendencies.
The beam between Bitazer and Kolkmaz is a knot, and the Pacers and 76ers game behind it has another big point of view.
