Codi Miller-McIntyre was injured in the final quarter. The point guard left the floor on his own and gave his place to Yago dos Santos, but after the final buzzer, it was obvious that he could not walk.
Hence, he was helped out by his teammates. He finished the match with 13 points, six rebounds and six assists.
In the postgame presser, coach Giannis Sferopoulos pointed out that the player had sprained his ankle during a layup attempt, but also added that medical tests would reveal the extent of his injury.
"We don't know how serious the injury is. Now he's hot and we'll examine him and see. We'll know more about his condition on Monday because the doctors will examine him Sunday. For now, we know he sprained his ankle," the Greek tactician said, before providing an update on Dejan Davidovac.
"He has problems with his back and I think he needs more time to recover,"
Sfairopoulos shared.
"We don't know if he'll be ready for the end of the season. We're looking at the situation week by week."
Zvezda's next game is scheduled for May 15.
