More on this storyline

Eurohoops: Per the Turkish national team, Furkan Korkmaz was ATTACKED in the locker rooms. @TBF vice-president Omer Onan: “If the security camera footage don’t come to us, We will leave this tournament” #Eurobasket2022 -via Twitter @Eurohoopsnet / September 4, 2022
After the match, Turkey decided to file an official protest, according to multiple accounts. The Turkish national team points to an episode after the Korkmaz-Sanadze scuffle. When the initial Sanadze foul was called, the game clock showed 4:46. However, when the free throws for the shooting foul were shot, the game clock was already at 4:26. -via BasketNews / September 4, 2022
To be exact Furkan Korkmaz and Duda Sanadze were disqualified with 4.26 left in the game and coach Ilias Zouros also got a “T” in the first overtime. On top of that, Turkey officially protests the result, since 22 seconds were “lost” from the game clock, during the altercation between Korkmaz and Sanadze. -via EuroHoops.net / September 4, 2022
