Partizan Mozzart Bet faced a tense moment after their recent league victory, with key players Jabari Parker and Aleksej Pokusevski picking up injuries. However, the team has since received good news, confirming that both players are fit and ready for the important EuroLeague double-header this week.
This positive update comes as a huge relief for Partizan, who are preparing for two tough games. They are scheduled to face Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv and then FC Barcelona. With several other players still recovering from injuries, having Parker and Pokusevski available provides a much-needed boost to the team as they look to improve their 3-3 record in the EuroLeague.
😟 Anxious Moments After a Win
During Sunday’s ABA League game against Borac Mozzart, there was cause for concern. Aleksej Pokusevski had to leave the game after taking a hit to the head, while Jabari Parker injured his finger. Coach Zeljko Obradovic initially expressed his worry, stating that Parker’s injury “doesn’t look good,” which left fans anxious about their availability for the crucial games ahead.
👍 Positive Update on Key Players
Fortunately, the initial fears were short-lived. A few hours later, it was confirmed that both players have recovered well. Parker’s finger injury was minor and only requires a bandage, and he is expected to be at the coach’s disposal. Pokusevski has also been cleared after the knock to his head, meaning both will be part of the team for the EuroLeague double week.
🩹 A Look at the Broader Injury List
While the news on Parker and Pokusevski is good, Partizan is still dealing with other absences. Guard Shake Milton is making slow progress in his recovery from an ankle injury, and the team is being cautious with his return. Meanwhile, Carlik Jones and Mario Nakic remain out with long-term injuries. The team’s new signing, Bruno Fernando, has arrived in Belgrade, but it is still unclear when he will be ready to join team practices and play in games.
