A major blow for the Turkish team, which has been struggling with injuries since the start of the season, especially among their big men

Anadolu Efes and Panathinaikos are currently playing their fifth-round EuroLeague game, but even in case of a win, the Turkish team will not be satisfied after the match in Istanbul.

After just three minutes, Ercan Osmani left the court. The Turkish national team player injured his shoulder, and the extent of the injury will only be known after further examinations.

In the first half, the home team suffered another setback – Giorgos Papagiannis sustained a serious injury. The Greek center went up for a dunk, missed, and then remained on the floor in pain.

He was unable to get up even with the help of teammates, eventually leaving the fifth-round game in tears.

It should be noted that Vincent Poirier had already suffered an injury earlier, so it is clear that Igor Kokoskov will be significantly weakened in the upcoming EuroLeague games.
