Pokuszewski broke his right hand during Thunder training
Bad news for Alexei Pokusevsky who has broken his right arm and will be sidelined for a long time.
Alexei Pokushevsky was – once again – unlucky. According to an update from Thunder, the Serbia forward suffered a fracture in the humerus (the bone that connects the shoulder to the elbow) in his right hand and will be out for four to six weeks.
The former Olympiakos player was injured during a training session at the Thunder facilities and is now back on the road to recovery. This is the Serb’s second serious injury in recent months after breaking a knee bone last December that kept him out for three months.
It now remains to be seen whether this injury will affect the young forward’s potential participation in the 2023 World Cup, where he has expressed his desire to compete.
In the 2022-23 season (his third in the NBA), Pokuszewski averaged 8.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals at 36.5% 3-pointers in 21 minutes with the Thunder Shots (34 games – 25 as a starter).
