The Turkish national team suffered a big blow in the preparation for the upcoming Eurobasket. As it was announced by the federation, due to back problems Omer Asik will miss the tournament.
By far the best center of the Turkish national team roster, Asik was supposed to be one of the team leaders. Without him being the defensive anchor of the team, the plans of coach Ataman have the change. Of course, Asik is expected to be ready to go for the training camp of the New Orleans Pelicans who signed him into a new contract.
