Olimpia Milan is heading into their next EuroLeague match facing some tough challenges. After a recent loss in their domestic league, the team’s focus is on the upcoming European game against Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv, but they will have to manage with a growing list of unavailable players. Despite the setbacks, the team remains competitive with a 6-5 record.
🤔 Key Players Sidelined
The team’s roster has been further affected by recent developments. Leandro Bolmaro has been added to the injury list with a sore quad. Additionally, Devin Booker’s availability is uncertain for the upcoming game. Coach Ettore Messina mentioned that Booker might miss the match due to a personal family matter. This comes just as Shavon Shields has returned to the lineup after recovering from an illness.
🩹 A Growing Injury List
These new concerns add to an already lengthy list of sidelined players. The team is currently without Lorenzo Brown (calf), Ousmane Diop (knee), Josh Nebo (concussion), and Nate Sestina (arm). With so many players unavailable, the team’s depth and rotations are being seriously tested as they compete in multiple competitions.
💪 Resilience and a Rising Star
Despite the difficulties, some players are pushing through their challenges. The team is carefully managing the minutes of Marko Guduric, who has been playing through some nagging injuries. On a positive note, young player Quinn Ellis has stepped up impressively. With starting guard Lorenzo Brown out, Ellis has seized his opportunity, confidently averaging 7.6 points and 3.9 assists in the EuroLeague.
