However, the Turkish team will be deprived of Derek Willis' services in the coming weeks, as the American forward left the game early in the third quarter. Willis played 17'47'' in that contest, racking up 10 points on 3/5 from the field, one assist and two steals.

His medical tests showed that Willis has suffered a fracture in the fourth finger of his right hand. The player underwent surgery on Saturday morning and will be sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks.

Willis, 28, has averaged 8.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per 26'33" of playing time over 10 EuroLeague games.
