EA7 Emporio Armani Milan will be without its biggest star and top scorer Nikola Mirotic for at least two weeks, the club announced on Wednesday morning. During an Italian League game over the weekend, “Mirotic suffered an injury to the adductor of his right thigh, which will be re-evaluated in two weeks”, the club wrote in an official statement.
Two other Milan players, Zach LeDay and Leandro Bolmaro also suffered injury problems in that domestic league game, but have travelled with the team to Istanbul and are a game-time decision for Milan, which visits Anadolu Efes on Thursday night.
Mirotic ranks fifth in scoring this season (18.3 ppg.) and third in rebounding (6.6 rpg.) this season. The star forward is also eighth in average minutes played (28:32), all team-high numbers.
Milan will have a tough task to find a way to overcome his absence, first in Istanbul, and then at least also a week later at home against the reigning champ Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens.
