The injury of Daniel Hackett in the game against Unics Kazan was also the end of the season for him. The Italian guard of Olympiacos has suffered a rupture of the biceps femoris muscle tendon.
As the team announced, there’s no other option than surgery and the player will stay out of action for the next six months. This is a huge blow for Olympiacos, as Hackett was one of the key guards of the team. According to the initial medical exams, Hackett was expected to miss two months of action, but today the worst case scenario was confirmed.
Olympiacos is already on the market, trying to find a player similar to Hackett. Considering that the Italian is one of the best combo guards in Europe, this is not going to be easy.
