Dr. Partizan: Yabusele deserves prison and a lifetime suspension
Dr. Jakovljević, the long-time team doctor for Partizan, has shared information about the injury suffered by Australian player Dante Exum
Dr. Jakovljević, the long-time team doctor for Partizan, has shared information about the injury suffered by Australian player Dante Exum during the game-4 brawl between Real Madrid and the Serbian team.
As reported by Mozzart Sport, Dr. Jakovljević stated that Exum was fortunate, as he could have broken his spine.
“It’s a serious injury. At the moment, the tendon of the toe is ruptured, but we will find out if it’s fractured when we get to Belgrade. For now, only the toe is injured and his mouth is bleeding due to a damaged tooth,” Dr. Jakovljević told Mozzart Sport, adding, “The way Yabusele threw him to the ground with a judo move deserves prison and a lifetime suspension. With that gesture, Exum could have broken his spine, suffered serious head injuries, and dramatically ended his career. It was terrible. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.”
Dr. Jakovljević also reported that Exum suffered damage to a tooth and has a wound on his lip. During the press conference, Željko Obradović stated that he was unsure about the severity of the injury.
