Türkiye s semi-finals are facing bad news! Ottoman faces swelling and difficulty in bearing load, and may not be able to play if he misses training

On September 12, the men's basketball European Cup will compete for the semi-finals tonight. Turkey will compete with Greece for a final spot, but there is bad news for Turkey, with the team's No. 2 scorer Ottoman likely unable to compete in the semi-finals due to injury in the last game. In the quarter-finals victory over Poland, Ottoman was forced to leave the court due to an ankle injury in the third quarter. Although he returned briefly in the fourth quarter, he only persisted for 1 minute and then left the court again. In this game, Ottoman scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Ottoman said at the time: "I was in great pain at that time, but I still wanted to contribute to the team, but we didn't want to take risks. I will try my best to adjust my condition before the semi-finals."

However, according to famous European reporter Donatas Urbanas, Ottoman missed training today due to injury. Turkey coach Ergin Ataman said in an interview: "Ottoman treatment is still in progress and he failed to participate in the team's training today. His specific situation will be clear at the game." Previously, Ergin Ataman mentioned that the team initially suspected that Ottoman might have a stress fracture, but the test results showed that this was not the case. Currently, Ottoman is facing problems of swelling and difficulty in bearing load.

It should be noted that in the seven games of this year's European Cup, Ottoman averaged 14.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 51.2%. He is the second scorer of Turkey, and his team is second only to Shin Kyung. If the Ottoman cannot play, it will be a huge blow to the Turkish team.
