Dubai’s key player, Dzanan Musa, gave fans a scare after leaving a recent game with a knee injury. However, he quickly took to social media to let everyone know it wasn’t as serious as it looked, and he expects to be back on the court in a few weeks.
Musa’s temporary absence is a significant challenge for Dubai. As the team makes its historic first appearance in the EuroLeague, losing a star player—especially with several other teammates also injured—will test their depth and resilience in the tough games ahead.
🙏 A Scary Moment, but Good News Follows
The incident happened during Dubai’s ABA League game against Split. After scoring seven points in about eight minutes, the 26-year-old hurt his knee in the second quarter and had to leave the game. While the injury initially looked serious, Musa later posted a message on his Instagram story, saying, “Nothing serious. Only a scare! Will be back in few weeks InShaAllah.” This news brought great relief to the team and its supporters.
🏀 A Big Loss for Dubai’s EuroLeague Campaign
Musa has been crucial for Dubai in their debut EuroLeague season. In the first two games, he was already making a big impact, averaging 15.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. As an experienced player, his leadership is vital for a team new to Europe’s top basketball competition. His absence will surely be felt as the team navigates its early schedule.
🏆 An Experienced and Talented Player
This isn’t Musa’s first time playing at a high level. He is a veteran with 130 EuroLeague appearances, having played for top teams like Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes. He also spent time in the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets from 2018 to 2020 after being a first-round draft pick. His extensive experience is one of the main reasons he is such an important part of the Dubai team.
🗓️ Tough Road Ahead for the Team
With Musa sidelined, Dubai faces a difficult period. The team, coached by Jurica Golemac, already has several other players on its injury list, including Danilo Andjusic and Aleksa Avramovic. Their next EuroLeague game is a challenging away match against Olympiacos, followed by an ABA League game against Borac Mozzart. The team will need other players to step up during this time.
