FC Barcelona will be without power forward Chimezie Metu for at least six weeks due to a sprained knee, the club confirmed Monday.
Metu suffered the injury during a Spanish League game against Valencia Basket on Sunday while fighting for a rebound. He fell with visible signs of pain. Though Metu was able to stand up and leave the court on his own, he never returned to the game.
Further exams confirmed that Metu has a second-degree sprained left knee and it was decided that he will follow conservative treatment, which will sideline him for all the remaining games in 2024.
Metu has played a key role for Barcelona this season, averaging 7.9 points and 4.4 rebounds in less than 19 minutes per game in his first Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season.
