However, Will Clyburn, who remained on the ground after he ran into his teammate Amath M'Baye with his knee, could not get up for a while, with 4.16 remaining in the first quarter. The American forward, who exited the court after the game was stopped, went to the locker room to continue his treatment and didn't come back.

At first there, was great concern for his condition, but the tests showed that he has distended his knee ligament and will need to stay out of action for the following days, which means that the season is probably over for him.

Efes head coach Ergin Ataman said after the game that it "may be serious" and that the player would undergo an MRI.

The third match of the Turkish Super League Final series is scheduled on Saturday at 17.00 CET at the Karsiyaka Sports Hall. In case Efes win, they will be crowned champions.
