With Boston Celtics alum Shane Larkin out injured with ligament damage in his hand per Eurohoops, his Turkish National Team fell to the French National Team 87-86 in overtime as three fellow Celtics alumni sent Larkin and Turkey fishing in the knockout stage of EuroBasket play on Saturday morning.
On France’s side of the scoreboard, former Celtics shooting guard Evan Fournier put up 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal in an inefficient outing that saw him turn the ball over 4 times and shoot just 38.5% from the field overall. Ex-Boston big man Guerschon Yabusele added another 9 points, 3 assists, and a steal in what was a relatively quiet game from the Celtics’ former No. 16 pick.
