Furkan Korkmaz
Turkish star and Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz was attacked by Georgian players and the police in the ongoing EuroBasket 2022 tournament. This statement was issued according to the Turkish national team. Turkey and Georgia had a heated battle on the court during a clash in the tournament, and the feud appeared to have spilled into the locker room after the game ended.
Turkish Vice-president Omer Onan gave a detailed insight as to what exactly happened. He said, “While Furkan Korkmaz was walking in the hallway to the locker rooms with our trainer, Georgia’s players who were not in the active roster attacked him together with the ejected player and the police. There should not be an attack on the player that goes to the locker room.”
He further added, “At the end of the match, 30 policemen each pushed us into a fight. We got into a fight with Georgia’s official police. I am calling out to FIBA and I have also told FIBA’s officials. Let no one deceive themselves or think that we are stupid. They will bring us all the camera footage from that corridor minute by minute without anything missing. If those cameras do not come to us, we will leave this tournament.”
Furkan Korkmaz got into a beef with Georgian player Duda Sanadze which led to a tiff on the court, and both the players were ejected. While 22 seconds were also lost due to this altercation between Furkan Korkmaz and Duda Sanadze, Turkey filed a complaint before the FIBA officials. Georgia won the game with an 88-83 at the end.
