But the American forward slipped and fell, without anyone touching or obstructing him.

Olympiacos' head coach Giorgos Bartzokas pulled him out of the court, without restoring him in the second half of the contest, in which Olympiacos prevailed easily by 74-61.

The first diagnosis regarding McKissic's condition came just a few minutes after the final buzzer. McKissic has suffered a left ankle sprain and will undergo further examinations on Sunday morning that will reveal the extent of the damage and whether he'll be available for Game 2, scheduled for next Tuesday (20:00 CEST) at OAKA.

The 31-year-old finished the game with 5 points on 2/3 from the field, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 turnovers.
