Scotty Wilbkin would prefer to forget his game yesterday (Tuesday) in Fenerbahce’s loss to Olympiakos. Former Maccabi Tel Aviv managed to play 11 minutes before being sent off, when in those minutes he recorded one of the worst performances of his career.
Wilvkin finished with 0 points, 0-for-5 from the field, 2 turnovers, 1 assist and a minus 6 rating, this when during his minutes on the field his team was minus 19. In fact, this is Wilvkin’s third lowest plus-minus rating throughout his career in the Euroleague and the third time out of his 192 games In the factory he throws more than three shots but remains scoreless.
If all that wasn’t enough, the American guard was ejected midway through the second quarter after he claimed to have drawn an attacking foul, and protested to the referee en route to the first technical. 25 seconds later he committed a foul, protested once more and received a second technical foul, which led to his ejection. As you can see in the video above, Wilbkin really didn’t like his suspension and had to be held down to avoid the referee.
“It was a shocking display by Wilvkin,” they criticized in ‘Basketnews’, while at the same time in Greece they claimed that the reason for one of the technical fouls that led to the guard being sent off was following a call to “Fuck you” towards the referee. Following the incident, by the way, the referees asked the security personnel to accompany them to the dressing room at halftime, when thousands of fans were protesting against them.
