Turkey vs Georgia
After a scuffle between Furkan Korkmaz and Duda Sanadze, both players were ejected. Korkmaz was reportedly attacked when leaving the arena by Georgian players.[6] The following day, the Turkish federation threatened to leave the tournament.[7]
After the game, the Turkish federation also submitted a complaint because the game clock ran for 22 seconds while the game was paused; this complaint was dismissed by FIBA.[8]
