Following an altercation with three opposing players during a 2022 Eurobasket tournament game Sunday, Furkan Korkmaz offered comments explaining the events leading up to the incident.
The 76ers forward and Turkish national team member was reportedly attacked by players from the Georgian national team while walking to the locker room following Georgia’s 88–83 double overtime win over Turkey. The incident, which was confirmed by Turkish federation vice president Omer Onan, occurred in the aftermath of a heated exchange between Korkmaz and Georgia guard Duda Sanadze that led to both players being ejected late in the contest.
Korkmaz discussed the situation after the game and offered his account of the fight.
