Anadolu Efes Istanbul confirmed on Saturday that guard Rodrigue Beaubois will be sidelined for at least the next six weeks after suffering a partial tear in his calf.
Beaubois had to be helped off the court with 2:07 to go in the third quarter of Efes's Round 33 overtime victory at Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade in Round 33 last Friday night.
"Our player Rodrigue Beaubois, who injured his left leg in the EuroLeague game against Crvena Zvezda, underwent an MRI scan," read Efes's tweet.
"As a result of the tests, our player was diagnosed with a partial tear in his calf area. Beaubois's rehabilitation process has started and he will be out for at least six weeks."
The 37-year-old Beaubois is an important part of Efes's rotation, averaging 8.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists this season, and has come up with some big performances of late during his team's seven-game unbeaten run.
Efes, now fifth in the standings with a 19-14 record, faces Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 34 and a win will be enough to clinch a direct spot in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs.
In Beaubois's absence, Shane Larkin, Elijah Bryant, Darius Thompson and PJ Dozier will likely all see an increase in their minutes.
