This means that Delaney is out for the remainder of the series versus the Turkish powerhouse.

In the same game, Sergio Rodriguez sustained a sprained left ankle and his condition will be further evaluated in the coming days.

Both injuries occurred in the fourth quarter of the victorious effort, which tied the series (1-1).

Nicolo Melli is already out for the playoffs, as he picked up a calf injury in Game 1.

Delaney averaged 9.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 7.9 PIR over 28 EuroLeague games this season, while Rodriguez's numbers mark 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 9.4 PIR in 32 duels.

After Game 2, head coach Ettore Messina admitted that the continuation of the series will be very difficult for his team.

"This series is over, we need a miracle. All the odds are against us, and every day it looks like there's a new injury," the basketball professor talked post-game.
