Barça announced late in the day the loss of Kyle Kuric, at least for the next game. ANDIn the last game against Cazoo Baskonia, the North American forward suffered a severe blow to the head that caused him a head injury. Although it should not be more serious, the club has done nothing more than share the diagnosis: no time off is specified.
At least Kuric will miss this Friday’s duel against Olympiacos, which marks the debut of the azulgranas in the Euroleague. It is also likely that he will not be available for Sunday’s league match against Fuenlabrada, although that is one winger that is not confirmed. Kuric had been participating in the team at the start of the season after finishing the previous one with a lower level than usual.
Despite his loss, which is not the only one, Jasikevicius still has several high-level players to occupy the position of three. Abrines is in excellent form and the versatile Kalinic has shown on many occasions that he can also act as an outside threat. And if that wasn’t enough, there are Paulí and Caicedo. Without Mirotic, injured and without a return date, it also remains to be seen if Jasikevicius brings in Higgins and Tobey, absent in the team’s last two games.
