The EuroLeague action of Round 2 of the playoffs was sadly overshadowed by a huge brawl that took place in Real Madrid – Partizan Belgrade and involved several players from both teams.
Some really aggressive and potentially dangerous moves took place, most notably one from Real Madrid‘s Guerschon Yabusele who grabbed and threw Partizan’s Dante Exum on the floor, apparently injuring him in the process.
In total 21 players were involved and ended up ejected. As a result, the game was suspended and Partizan got the win.
Ejections coming up, and Yabusele in danger of missing the next game after his action against Exum #EuroLeague #Playoffspic.twitter.com/raLU6yUryK

Players, from EuroLeague or not, who were watching the game (or just saw other reactions on social media and took notice of the incident) took it on Twitter after watching the videos:
Sheesh I hope Exum is ok.

What you do if your EuroLeague.. do nothing looks like it’s okay to fight… suspend the best players messes up the whole series.
