The Euroleague play-off is coming very quickly, so every injury to a player is a big problem for the teams, and Olimpia Milano will be a real temptation if Datome is injured for a long time.
In yesterday’s defeat of the team by Dinamo Sassari, the Italian club also lost Gigi Datome after only a few minutes of the game due to a knee injury.
After the match, the assistant coach of the team, Gianmarco Pozzecco, expressed concern about the situation with the Italian winger.
“We are sorry and worried about what happened to Datome. He had a bad feeling about the unnatural twisting of his left knee.”
For a team that has already lost Dinos Mitoglu due to a positive doping test, along with several other injuries during the season, Datome’s injury is extremely bad news.
The Italian winger will have to go through surgery, which will mean a longer recovery period.
However, at Olimpia Milan, they hope to be able to return before the end of the season, when they need it the most.
