Anadolu Efes Istanbul lost against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. On top of that, one of their guards suffered an injury.
With 2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Turkish team down by 17 (74-91), Rodrigue Beaubois was dribbling the ball near the sideline when he stepped out of bounds. In the process, he inadvertently stepped on either the floor or an opponent's foot with his left foot.
After the play, the guard immediately went to the sideline, grabbing his foot. Moments later, he had to be helped by his teammates to reach the Efes bench.

Efes already played without the injured Vasilije Micic and Shane Larkin. Now with Beaubois possibly out of the rotation, the reigning EuroLeague champions might face a tough task in a game against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv on Friday.
Head coach Ergin Ataman was ejected during the game after receiving two technical fouls. Assistant coach Yakup Sekizkok did not provide additional injury information during the post-game press conference.
