Kenneth Faried Injured at Baskonia as Season's Injury List Grows

Kosner Baskonia made an official statement on Kenneth Faried's health condition. Tests revealed a myotendinous injury in the back of the player's left thigh. Faried had felt discomfort during a rebound battle in his last EuroLeague match against Partizan, which led to an assessment of his physical condition.

The club did not give a definite timeline for Faried's return to the court. It was noted that the recovery process depends on how it progresses and how the player feels. The injury is expected to last a few weeks.

The statement also gave a detailed list of the injuries Baskonia has suffered since the start of the season. Before the season, Markus Howard, DJ Stewart, AJ Lawson, Stefan Joksimovic and Alex Len were unavailable due to injury. Alex Len left the club without playing in any official match.

After the season started, Kobi Simmons, Chris Duarte, Tadas Sedekerskis, Rodions Kurucs, Márcio Santos and Damion Baugh also had physical problems in October and November. The club revealed that since the start of the season, eleven of its players have been unable to play due to injury, illness or physical problems.
