Kosner Baskonia forward-center Kenneth Faried has been sidelined indefinitely after medical tests confirmed a myotendinous injury in the back of his left thigh.
A veteran of 496 NBA games, Faried got hurt fighting for a rebound in recent EuroLeague action against Partizan Mozzart Bet.
After feeling pain in the back of his leg, Faried went in for imaging that showed the tear.

As confirmed by the team based in Vitoria-Gasteiz on Friday, he will miss the upcoming slate of games and has already started rehab with the club’s trainers. When he gets back on the practice floor depends entirely on how his body heals over the coming weeks.
His absence leaves a hole in the frontcourt as the team deals with very different results at home and abroad. Baskonia sits tied with Armani Olimpia Milan at the bottom of the 2026–27 EuroLeague Regular Season standings with a 1–10 record. Faried has been a steady presence, averaging 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.0 assist, and 0.7 steals per contest. Things look much better in Spain’s Liga Endesa, where the squad is tied for second with five wins over seven ACB games.
This latest news adds to a rough campaign. Problems started back in preseason, when a string of physical issues threw off summer workouts and forced early roster moves. The bad luck followed the roster into October and November. Up to 11 players have spent time on the shelf since tip-off, leaving the coaching staff to constantly shuffle lineups just to get through the schedule.
