Bad news for Cazoo Baskonia and Steven Enoch.
Enoch, 25, will stay on the injury list due to a left ankle injury, the team announced Thursday. Upon further evaluation, he was diagnosed with a syndesmotic injury.
The Connecticut-born center picked up the injury during practice last week. He made his way to two appearances in Spain’s Liga Endesa averaging 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists before being placed on the injury list. After missing the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague opener and the third game of the new ACB season, he has been confirmed to sit out additional games moving forward into the 2022-23 campaign.
Up next is Round 2 of the EuroLeague Regular Season and a home fixture opposite Partizan Mozzart Bet tomorrow, Friday. From there, Baskonia will visit Casademont Zaragoza in ACB Regular Season Round 4 Saturday. The packed schedule stretches into hosting Crvena Zvezda mts and Olympiacos shapes in the first double-game week of the EuroLeague season.
Debuting in Europe’s premier club continental competition last season, he tallied 9.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 0.2 steals per contest in a 12-16 run for Bitci Baskonia, falling a couple of wins shy of a berth in the Playoffs. At the domestic level, he logged 9.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists over 40 appearances helping his side reach the Semifinals of the Playoffs.
Coming out of Louisville and before landing at the team based in Vitoria-Gasteiz, he spent his first professional season at Monbus Obradoiro.
