Power forward “Nizhny Novgorod Pari” Andrei Vorontsevich told that injuries have spoiled the team’s performance in the current VTB United League season.
This season, Nizhny Novgorod has won seven victories in 27 matches and is in seventh place in the Group B standings.
— Nizhny Novgorod is having problems this season. Anton Ponkrashov said the main reason was injuries. Do you agree?
— Naturally, at one point we lost two main leaders: Dmitry Khvostov and Ivan Strebkov. There were health programs with (Alexa) Novakovic, (Dragan) Apic, I pulled my back muscles, and because of that I was out for a month and a half. The players were under a lot of pressure, it turned out that at the start of the season there were around ten injured. It wasn’t easy, but we fought and didn’t lose heart in the face of defeat. Now we understand that when we are complete, the team has good potential. The position in the tournament is not the most enviable, but we are moving forward,” Vorontsevich told .
