A Turkish basketball player in the NBA, Cedi Osman promised on Saturday to support earthquake victims in eastern Turkey.

Osman said on his Twitter account that he will donate $100 to quake victims in Elazig for every three-pointers made during Saturday's NBA game between Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls.

A Cavaliers small forward since 2017, Osman, 24, encouraged both his team and opponent Bulls for plenty of three-pointers.

"Come on guys show what we can do together!" he said.

The Cavaliers will face Bulls at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Cleveland.
