As announced by the club on Friday morning, Unicaja Malaga big man Giorgi Shermadini will be sidelined from six to eight weeks due to a broken bone in his left foot. Shermadini (2.17 meters, 28 years old) did not travel to Moscow to face CSKA this week, and he also did not play in the second half of the game against Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade last week, and after undergoing medical tests, the worst predictions came true and he will miss most of the remainder of the season. Shermadini was one of the pillars of the Unicaja team this season, averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 23 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague appearances, 10 of them as a starter. This unexpected absence will have a big impact on the team of coach Joan Plaza, which is playing for its last options to make the EuroLeague playoffs in the coming weeks.
