With just over 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Sloukas drove to the basket during a fast break when he was stopped by Jarrell Martin in the paint. Although a defensive foul was called, the guard fell awkwardly on his back during the play.

A minute later, the star guard asked to be substituted as he couldn't continue playing at full strength.

Olympiacos went on to win the game. With 14 wins and 7 losses, the Greek team is currently at the top of EuroLeague standings.
