With 4:45 remaining in the second overtime, Real Madrid's Edy Tavares set a screen for Mario Hezonja. Efes' Tyrique Jones went after the Croatian forward but got caught by Tavares' 2.20-meter stature.

Immediately after the contact, Jones grabbed his left shoulder and went straight to the locker room without waiting for a referee whistle. The player was later seen leaving the arena with an ice pack under his jersey.

In just under 22 minutes, Jones scored 7 points and grabbed 6 rebounds for 11 PIR.

Efes ultimately lost the game in four overtimes, setting an all-time EuroLeague single-game scoring record of 256 points along the way. Shane Larkin, meanwhile, played more than 53 minutes on the court.
