The worst-case scenario was confirmed for Keenan Evans, who suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, will need surgery, and is expected to stay out of action at least for six months.
Practically, this is the end of the season for him.
Per Zalgiris‘ press release: “The American guard suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the first minute of Thursday night’s game against Fenerbahce Istanbul.
The player felt a sharp pain after landing on the floor. Immediately after the injury, Zalgiris‘ guard was taken to Gijos clinics, where the tests confirmed the diagnosis of a ruptured Achilles tendon.
After the tests, Evans was immediately operated on by orthopedic traumatologist Prof. Rimtautas Gudas. He will need six to eight months of rehabilitation.
This season, he had a fantastic performance in the Euroleague. Before the injury, he was the team’s most productive and useful player in the competition with averages of 16.8 points and 18.4 assists”.
