“I was unlucky because I sprained my ankle for the second time in three weeks. But this time the injury turned out to be more serious and I have to be out for four to six weeks. For the first time in a long time I have to be out of action for such a long period, but at the same time I have to stay positive and work hard to come back.”
This is what the best Bulgarian basketball player Alexander Vezenkov said in the Euroleague podcast. The Sacramento wing suffered an ankle injury just days after recovering from the same injury. Because of this, the Bulgarian will be out of the NBA between 4 and 6 weeks.
“The good news is that now it was the star weekend break and there were no matches. I will miss a few matches, but this is part of our job and I have to move on,” Vezenkov also said.
He is expected to return to the floor shortly before the start of the playoffs in the alien league.
Vezenkov also shared that he regularly analyzes matches from the Euroleague – where he was voted the most valuable player last year.
“Assistant coach Jordi Fernandez and I always talk about the Euroleague and the Spanish championship. He watches a lot of European basketball because it’s very interesting to him. Domantas Sabonis’ brother is an assistant coach at Zalgiris, so we talk about it with him too . European basketball is completely different. Every game there is important and that’s really beautiful,” said Vezenkov.
