Since coming to Italy, Josh Nebo really didn’t get the opportunity to make his presence felt, as he has been suffering three injuries already, playing only four games in the EuroLeague.

Now, it looks like the Italian powerhouse won’t have him on board for a long time, as Ettore Messina frankly explained in the post-game press conference following the LBA win over Trapani.

“High-level specialists are evaluating him, as it happened before. This is an extremely rare injury. We’re talking about months, not weeks. And let’s hope it’s only a few months”, he announced. “This guy played only five or six games this season. It’s very unlucky for him, and for us too”, he also said.

 

Right after the game against Bayern Munich in this week’s EuroLeague action, the Italian head coach gave a brief aftermath on his conditions, saying Josh Nebo’s injury didn’t “look good”.

Last year one of the best centers in the whole EuroLeague with Maccabi Tel Aviv, the 27-year-old Slovenian naturalized center is now waiting to come back to the court stronger than ever. At the moment, however, it’s unknown when he will make his return.
