The update came directly from the club through its official channels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2323\">It is another physical setback for the former <strong data-start=\"2032\" data-end=\"2045\">Barcelona<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2068\">Olimpia Milano<\/strong> star, who had already been dealing with injury issues in recent weeks. For <strong data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2154\">Monaco<\/strong>, it is a significant loss because it comes at a key point in the European season and further limits the team\u2019s frontcourt options.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2696\">In the <strong data-start=\"2332\" data-end=\"2354\">2025-26 EuroLeague<\/strong>, Mirotic had been averaging <strong data-start=\"2383\" data-end=\"2427\">11.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 31 games<\/strong>, while shooting <strong data-start=\"2444\" data-end=\"2476\">39.3% from three-point range<\/strong>. Those numbers underline his importance in Monaco\u2019s rotation, even in a season that has already been heavily affected by injuries. The club has not yet provided a recovery timeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Principality club has announced that the forward is unavailable because of a calf injury<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":488778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[237,199],"tags":[],"rumors":[407],"typology":[179],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-493238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-betclic-elite","category-euroleague","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-injury"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/03\/Nikola-Mirotic-.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493238"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=493238"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=493238"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=493238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
