The center has suffered an adductor injury and will miss the derby against Crvena Zvezda, as well as the EuroLeague games against ASVEL and Zalgiris.

Partizan have been dealt another injury blow. Tonye Jekiri is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks due to an adductor injury, further limiting Joan Peñarroya’s options. According to Mozzart Sport, additional medical examinations confirmed that the Nigerian center needs a period of rest alongside appropriate treatment, with his absence expected to last until at least the end of the month.

Following the injuries to Derek Willis and Lamar Stevens, Jekiri will also be unavailable for Partizan’s upcoming games. He is set to miss next Thursday’s derby against Crvena Zvezda, as well as the EuroLeague matchups against ASVEL and Zalgiris.
