Anadolu Efes Istanbul veteran big man Kerem Gonlum will miss the start of what will be his 12th Turkish Airlines Euroleague season. Gonlum (2.08 meters, 36 years old) suffered a right hand injury - broken metacarpus - in practice that will have him sidelined for an undetermined period of time, but he will undergo surgery on Wednesday, meaning that we will probably have to miss at least a couple of weeks. Gonlum is one of the most veteran players in the comptition and leads the Euroleague in most games played without reaching a Final Four (192). In case of playing his average times he will probably pass the 1,000-rebound mark this season, becoming only the sixth player ever to have done so in the competition.
