After Furkan Korkmaz got into a scuffle with Duda Sanadze following his foul, both players got ejected. However, the action did not end there.

Korkmaz was then attacked by three Georgian players as he was going to the locker room. According to Ismail Senol from BeIN Sports Turkiye, the trio that attacked the player was Tornike Shengelia, Goga Bitadze, and Sanadze himself.

Turkish basketball federation vice-president Omer Onan claimed that Turkey will leave EuroBasket if required footage is not provided.

"If the security camera footage doesn't come to us, we will leave the tournament," Onan said in an official statement.

The news was broken by the Turkish national team's assistant coach Hakan Demir during the post-game press conference.

"On the court, there is always tension, and the atmosphere was very good. Okay, something happened between the players," the assistant coach said. "But after that, our player was going to the locker room, and three Georgian national team players plus security got involved in a fight. It's unacceptable."

As crazy as it may sound, this was not the only controversy in the game. Following the match, Turkey decided to file an official protest due to the aftermath that ensued after the scuffle between the two players on the court.

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
