Mathias Lesort was expected to be back on the court at this time.
However, his return to action was postponed due to bone swelling in his left leg.
Panathinaikos and the 30-year-old French center had announced this in early November, and that they would be back with an announcement about the next step.
And the next step is arthroscopy.
The beast from Martinique will travel to Oporto, Portugal, where he will undergo (24/11) the relevant operation by a distinguished orthopedic professor of his choice.
“Matias Lesort will travel to Oporto, Portugal on Saturday morning, accompanied by the head of the medical staff of Panathinaikos AKTOR, Ioannis Triantafyllopoulos. On Monday, he will undergo arthroscopic surgery to repair the cartilage damage to his left ankle by the distinguished professor of orthopedics, Niek van Dijk, who is considered one of the leading specialists in the world, which is why he was chosen by our athlete”.
