"Luckily, everything is fine. Nothing serious at the moment, only a hard hit," Balcerowski shared on his Instagram story.

Poland defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina, claiming its spot in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament next year. However, with 39 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Balcerowski attempted an alley-oop dunk after a pass from Mateusz Ponitka.

The big man was stopped mid-air by Jusuf Nurkic and violently fell to the ground.

Balcerowski remained lying on the floor for a couple of minutes. Ultimately, he was able to return to the bench on his own but could not continue playing.

Before the exit, Balcerowski had scored 14 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and made 3 assists for 21 PIR.

When the Polish players celebrated the win, Balcerowski remained sitting on the bench. However, he was able to give the post-game interview to the Polish television TVP after several minutes.
