A EuroLeague basketball game was suspended on Thursday after a brawl broke out, leaving both teams without enough players to finish the game. 

The matchup between Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade was in the fourth quarter with Madrid losing 95-80 at home when a brawl broke out between the teams, resulting in the fifth overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft – Dante Exum – being slammed to the ground.

During the melee, Exum was body-slammed to the ground by Madrid's Guerschon Yabusele. 

Exum was seen leaving the arena on crutches and has reportedly suffered a serious injury. 

"The tendon in his second toe has ruptured," Partizan's doctor, Moma Jakovljevic, told reporters, according to ESPN. "It's a serious injury. He will have to use crutches to travel back to Belgrade, and we will have more tests there. His upper lip was also injured."

Yabusele also spent time in the NBA, appearing in 74 games with the Boston Celtics from 2017-2019.
