Barcelona big man Chimezie Metu suffered a rupture of the Achilles tendon in his right leg, the club announced. The Blaugrana will be without the player for the rest of the season.
Metu was injured with three minutes left in the third period of the EuroLeague game of Barcelona against Bayern Munich. He couldn’t put any weight on his leg and had to be helped off the floor by Barca staff members.
In 2024-25 and his debut EuroLeague season, Metu averaged 11.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 20:02 minutes.
