Osman has a suspected foot injury after an awkward fall wit 9:18 remaining in the fourth quarter of Turkey’s Group A opener against Canada which the Road Warriors won, 77-69.

“Cedi was our best player in this game. It was unlucky for us.”
Osman had 10 points and five rebounds before being taken out of the game. Osman left the venue with his left foot heavily taped.
