Riccardo Rossato undergoes surgery, return expected in January

Pallacanestro Reggiana guard Riccardo Rossato has undergone surgery to treat a bilateral hernia. According to Resto del Carlino Reggio Emilia, the operation went well and the player has begun rehabilitation work.

Given a recovery period of about ten weeks, Rossato is expected to return to the court between the end of 2026 and the start of January. Among the possible dates, the December 27 away game at Scafati is listed. However, the more realistic option appears to be the BC Roma and Udine games to be played in January.

The report also notes that Alessandro Cappelletti was named Italian player of the month for October and praised coach Marcelo Nicola on the Baseline Podcast. Cappelletti's comments stand out as a notable remark about the working environment within the team.

Other developments from the same day were also listed. Varese aims to have William McDowell-White ready for the November 8 match against Udine. At Treviso Basket, Riccardo Pittis has taken office as the new president, and Matteo Contento will remain on the board of directors. Scafati, meanwhile, is considering experienced player Jacob Pullen as part of its transfer plans.
