After missing the first two games of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet in the 2024-25 edition of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, Milos Teodosic will be sidelined once more.
Teodosic, 37, is dealing with a sprained wrist and was ruled out for Round 6 of the EuroLeague Regular Season, per Serbian outlet Meridian sport.
Despite the injury not being considered serious, the Belgrade outfit decided to avoid unnecessary risks and travel to Kaunas for the game against Zalgiris in Zalgirio Arena without the experienced and decorated floor general.
The former EuroLeague champion was ineligible for Rounds 1 and 2 of the Regular Season due to a suspension issued by Euroleague Basketball. Coming off the bench over the next three games in Europe’s premier club continental competition, he averaged 5.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.3 steals per contest. His side went from 2-0 to 3-2.
Heading to the Round 6 challenge on Wednesday, Joel Bolomboy (right knee) is also sidelined for the team coached by Giannis Sfairopoulos.
In contrast, Nemanja Nedovic is set to return to action and Filip Petrusev followed his new teammates on the trip to the second-largest city of Lithuania.
Returning from Kaunas and switching to the bottom end of the double-game week, Zvezda will host defending champion Panathinaikos Aktor in Aleksandar Nikolic Hall on Friday.
At 4-2 in the AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season, the next game at the regional level is against Cedevita Olimpija in Belgrade on Monday.
