Sevgi Uzun's 24 not enough as Türkiye Women NT fall to Australia Women NT
Sevgi Uzun scored 24 points on 7-of-13 shooting in 33 minutes, but it was not enough to prevent Türkiye Women NT from falling to Australia Women NT 71–87 in Group C play at the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup. Uzun's precision at the free-throw line—7 for 7—and her ball movement (6 assists) kept Türkiye in reach for stretches. She added 3 steals, though 5 turnovers and an efficient night from deep (3 for 7 from three) could not close a 16-point deficit. Australia's defensive pressure and execution in the second half proved the difference. The loss leaves Türkiye with work ahead in the group stage, but Uzun's scoring and playmaking on high efficiency showed she can carry load when the margin is not insurmountable.
