Updated
Mathias Lessort suffered a serious injury to his left leg after accidentally stepping on Chima Moneke. The Panathinaikos center lost his right ankle, falling with all his weight on his left leg and causing, according to the first examinations, a fracture of the fibula.. He was left lying in the duel between screams and signs of pain. He went to the locker room on one leg and with his foot hanging.
Juancho Hernangómez, who was close to the action, was the first to go along with the French center and warn about the alarming injury of his partner, whose screams were heard in a good part of the pavilion despite the great atmosphere there was.
From that moment, the OAKA froze. The game was stopped for several minutes and Some Panathinaikos players, like Juancho himself and Kostas Sloukas, began to cry when they understood the seriousness of the injury..
Before the damned play, Lessort had 10 points and six rebounds. The player, one of the best interior players in Europe, was once again one of the leaders of the current continental champion. His averages so far this season are 13.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and a PIR of 20.5.
