Turkish National Team players of Fenerbahçe Doğuş made a joint statement about FIBA World Cup Qualifiers in November.
'' As everyone knows the change of the schedule of the FIBA World Cup Qualifier games put us in a very hard position. It's always been an honour for us to wear the National Team jersey but this schedule change is going to put our team playing for EuroLeague in a very hard position and we have a responsibility also to our team. National Team tournaments will always be important for all of us. However, this FIBA schedule should be reviewed with the opinions from players because it's impossible to both NBA and EuroLeague players to play in World Cup Qualifiers. Unfortunately we must inform you that we can not wear National Team uniform in FIBA World Cup Qualifiers. ''
