It was a horrible night for Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Quarter-Finals, losing to La Laguna Tenerife to be eliminated and continue struggling throughout their difficult season in ACB and EuroLeague too.
Moreover, if that wasn’t enough, Kevin Punter suffered a concerning injury at the beginning of the third quarter, having to leave the court while touching his left shoulder.
“It’s bad news”, Joan Penarroya commented in the post-game press conference. The Catalan head coach didn’t give any more explanatory answers on Kevin Punter’s conditions.
Thus far in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, the former Partizan captain has been averaging 16.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in the competition. In the ACB, instead, his numbers decrease to 12.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.
