He was very unlucky Okaro White in the third VTB League final between Kuban locomotive and Unixwhere the Kazan team won 82-81 and now leads 2-1 in the series.
About six minutes before the end and while “Loko” was leading 75-71, his former player Panathinaikou claimed a rebound with an opponent Louis Labiri. However, in his attempt to get a better position, the Frenchman hit – unwittingly – the American forward in the mouth. Immediately, the Lokomotiv Kuban player fell to the floor and was then replaced.
In fact, the extent of the damage turned out to be great, as after the end of the match, the coach of Kuban, Alexander Sekulic, revealed that Okaro White lost four teeth from the blow!
Meanwhile, the referees they didn’t call a foul, simply pausing the game. A little later, they also examined the phase in the video, but they thought it was just the… bad timinggiving the order to continue the game normally and without punishing the tall one of Unix!
“I would like to express my support to Okaro White. I hope he recovers ahead of the next match. Today he lost four teeth from a blow. I’ve never seen that in a basketball game“, were the words of Sekulic.
