Real Madrid sidelined Theo Maledon indefinitely due to an injury to the adductor longus muscle in his right leg.
The status of the 24-year-old combo guard was officially updated on Friday.
The team coached by Sergio Scariolo was navigating recent games in the 2025-26 editions of the EuroLeague and Spain’s Liga Endesa without significant injury issues, until the setback for Maledon and the player’s early exit from the clash with AS Monaco in Movistar Arena on Thursday.
So far in his first EuroLeague campaign with Los Blancos, the native of Rouen tallied 10.7 points, 3.1 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.7 steals per contest over 21 appearances, including three starts. Combined with two separate stints with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne, he is a veteran of 76 games. Taking his talents to the NBA, he was featured in 177 games between 2020 and 2024, after being selected with the 34th overall pick of the draft in 2020.
After taking down Monaco in Round 24 and securing a seventh straight win across all competitions since early January, Scariolo’s side improved the continental tally to 16-8, which trails only Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv’s league-high 16-6. Also, a 14-2 record leads the ACB table, two games clear of second-placed Valencia and FC Barcelona.
Two road games follow on the schedule. Madrid visits Rio Breogan in Round 17 of the Liga Endesa Regular Season on Saturday, and moves to Paris and Adidas Arena on Tuesday for Round 24 of the EuroLeague Regular Season.
