The basketball player was only able to leave the court on a stretcher, accompanied by a medical team. The head coach “Zenith” Javier Pascual said after the match that the player had been sent to hospital for examination.
— Sergei has a back injury. The examination showed that he was not seriously injured, but the injury was not simple and he will spend the next few days in the hospital. It’s too early to talk about the timing of the restoration,” Tserkovny was quoted as saying by the club’s press service.
