Turkey and Georgia had a heated battle on the court during a showdown in Eurobasket 2022, and the enmity appeared to have spilled into the locker room after the game, with Turkish star and Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz getting attacked by Georgian players and even the police, according to the Turkish national team, per Eurohoops.

Here's a much more detailed description of the incident involving Furkan Korkmaz as told by Turkish federation vice-president Omer Onan (h/t Semih Tuna of EuroHoops):

“While Furkan Korkmaz was walking in the hallway to the locker rooms with our trainer, Georgia’s players who were not in the active roster attacked him together with the ejected player (ed.note: Duda Sanadze) and the police. There should not be an attack on the player that goes to the locker room. At the end of the match, 30 policemen each pushed us into a fight. We got into a fight with Georgia’s official police. I am calling out to FIBA and I have also told FIBA’s officials. Let no one deceive themselves or think that we are stupid. They will bring us all the camera footage from that corridor minute by minute without anything missing. If those cameras do not come to us, we will leave this tournament.”

During the game, Furkan Korkmaz got into the face of Georgian player Duda Sanadze which led to a skirmish on the floor between the two sides and the ejection of both players.

Turkey also filed a protest before Fiba officials, relating to the alleged loss of 22 seconds on the clock during the Furkan Korkmaz-Duda Sanadze altercation.

Georgia won the game, 88-83, but instead of post-game breakdowns, it's unfortunate that this incident has become the biggest takeaway from the contest.
