New Orlando Magic forward Serge Ibaka happened to be vacationing on Turkey's Mediterranean coast Friday as the country's military attempted to overthrow the government.
Ibaka relayed via Twitter that he was safe.
Thanks everyone for the support messages while I'm in Antalya, Turkey. Everyone is safe here and hope this situation finishes soon.

Antalya, Turkey, is several hundred miles from the major cities of Istanbul and Ankara where the majority of the violence and turmoil appeared to be concentrated.
