With Germany leading 54-43 at the end of the third quarter, the game was forced to be KO’d.

At the end of the period, GB guard Faye Endean appeared to suffer a serious injury.

As Endean was assisted off the court for more treatment, a fan ran towards the Germany bench to alert them of an issue in the crowd.

Medics then rushed into the stands to assist the spectator, with sheets raised around them for privacy.

After around six minutes of treatment the fan was stretchered away.

Following deliberation between both teams, a decision was made to end the game.
