EA7 Emporio Armani Milan grabbed a dominant 98-79 win in Legabasket over Happy Casa Brindisi and improved to a 17-4 score in the standings, but Shavon Shields’ injury gave another headache to Ettore Messina.

The American-Danish sharpshooter sprained his ankle with six minutes left in the first quarter, leaving the court limping. He didn’t return.

Shields returned to the court more than four months after his last injury this week.
