Davis Bertans will miss EuroBasket 2015 due to ACL injury

BC, Riga, 27.03.2015.Print version

One of Latvia's top basketball players at the moment, Davis Bertans, has suffered another ACL injury, and will be out of action for at least six months, the player's agent Arturs Kalnitis said today, cites LETA.

 

It usually takes six to eight months to recover from such an injury, meaning that Bertans will most likely miss this year's European Men's Basketball Championships (EuroBasket 2015) as well.

 

Bertans tore an ACL in his knee back in 2013, which sidelined him for nine months. He only returned to action at the end of last season.

 

He was having a good season for Spanish Euroleague club Vitoria ''Laboral Kutxa'' this season and was one of the club's leaders before suffering the injury against Italian basketball club Milan ''EA7 Emporio Armani'' on Thursday.

 

In 22 Euroleague matches this season, Bertans was averaging 11 points and 2.9 rebounds per game for ''Laboral Kutxa''.

 

As reported, Bertans was drafted by the San Antonio "Spurs" during the 2011 NBA Draft, becoming only the second Latvian ever drafted by an NBA team.
