Baskonia: injury for Chima Moneke
Baskonia loses Chima Moneke during the EuroLeague play-in match against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, one of the best players on Ivanovic’s roster.
Bad news for Baskonia, which is playing Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv on the first day of the EuroLeague play-in. Coach Dusko Ivanovic’s team not only lost 71-49, but also saw Chima Moneke, one of the best players on the Basque team, go out with an injury.
In fact, the long man went down with a badly sprained left ankle while flying in on a counterattack and did not return for the remainder of the game. As a reminder, even in case of defeat, which is now more than likely, Baskonia will return to the court against the winner of the match between Efes and Virtus Bologna, which is currently on the court.
