Aleksa Avramovic is expected to miss the rest of the season after breaking his left hand.
Besides missing the opportunity to sweep Real Madrid in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs best-of-five series and clinch a berth in the Final Four on Tuesday, Partizan Mozzart Bet saw Avramovic picking up the injury in Game 3. He will be making his way to Madrid for additional tests.
The injury news was reported by Telegraf.rs.
Missing the early chunk of the 2022-23 season with an injury to his right hand, the Serbian combo guard was limited to 23 appearances across the EuroLeague campaign. He tallied 6.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks per contest. In AdmiralBet ABA League, he averaged 16.4 points, 3.5 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game over 24 appearances.
The team based in Belgrade will also miss Kevin Punter serving the second half of the two-game suspension issued due to his involvement in the brawl marking Game 2 of the best-of-five series. All remaining players are projected to be available for Game 4, to be held in Stark Arena tomorrow, Thursday.
Avramovic, 28, joined Partizan before the 2021-22 season, after spending five seasons abroad, split between Spain and Italy.
At the international level, he represented Serbia in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games actually held in 2021, apart from caps in the 2019 and 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers, and 2022 EuroBasket Qualifiers.
