Incredible news! A few hours before his final Eurocup against Gran Canaria (22:00), Turk Telecom coach Erdem Can injured his neck!
The accident happened when the driver of the team’s coach from Ankara braked sharply and the Turkish technician fell with his head on the glass (fortunately slightly), while injuring his neck from the jolt. Chan had gotten up to ask the driver to turn down the volume of the radio, and he resented it, intentionally causing his injury, witnesses say.
Zeljko Obradovic’s former partner at Fenerbahce, who was named coach of the year in the Eurocup, was training his team as usual wearing a collarbut after it’s over he went to the hospital on a stretcher, as he was in a lot of pain. Chan stayed to get an MRI and it is estimated that even with pain he will be on the bench tonight.
“The injury is quite serious. We don’t want to blame Eurocup or Gran Canaria, but whoever is in charge will pay. Our driver took 40 minutes for a distance of 10 minutes and we were late for training. Then he turned up the volume on the radio, we asked him to turn it down, and when our coach went to ask him to turn it down, he deliberately slammed on the brakes“, emphasized the general manager of Turk Telecom.
