Vasilije Micic, Kostas Slukas and other players questionable for Eurobasket 2022
But the aforementioned list could be extended soon, since the last friendlies have left a devastating impression on some National teams.
The most striking case and one that should be watched closely is his Vasilije Micic Well, the point guard is one of the players who could make a difference in this Eurobasket. The Anadolu Efes captain sprained his right ankle in an accidental action on August 25 and is listed as doubtful to be with Serbia at EuroBasket.
Although the player says he is fine, there are still some reservations about his availability. More complicated is his situation Thomas Satoransky Well, the Czech Republic starter sprained his right ankle on August 19 and there is still no update on his condition. Tests carried out on the new Barcelona player ruled out a break but did not ease the worry one iota.
Meanwhile, in Greece they have four players hanging on by a thread. George Papagiannis (muscle problems), Kostas Sloukas (knee problems), Costas Antetokounmpo (problems in one knee) and Ioannis Papapetrou (right biceps strain) are doubtful and will soon be out.
