A referee in the FIBA Basketball Champions League (BCL), Aleksandar Glisic, went down with a torn cruciate ligament while he was officiating the Lenovo Tenerife - VEF Riga game in Group C of the BCL.

In the third quarter, Glisic tripped and fell down, which is how he received the injury. He was then carried out with a stretcher.

The official tripped on his own as he was trying to signal an unsportsmanlike foul while in movement.

No update was provided on when Glisic would potentially return to the court.

The game ended with a dominant victory for the home team, as Tenerife prevailed over VEF Riga with a score of 76-55. Tenerife improved to a record of 2-1, while VEF Riga remains winless in their first three games.
