Midway through the third quarter, James suffered a severe injury and had to be stretchered off the court.

Following the game, Crvena Zvezda head coach Ibon Navarro and his players visited the Efes locker room to offer their support to the American point guard.

It was a truly classy gesture by the Red-and-Whites, showing that some things are far bigger than the final result.
