The Anadolu Efes suffered a significant setback as Georgios Papagiannis was ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, while Ercan Osmani is expected to miss around three weeks due to a shoulder issue.
Aside from falling short against Panathinaikos Athens, the game also ended with two injuries from Efes during their Round 5 home game.
The team has officially confirmed that Papagiannis will undergo surgery for a left knee anterior cruciate ligament injury and will be sidelined for around eight months.
He was injured attempting a dunk, landing awkwardly on his left leg, which led him to be stretchered on the way out due to intense pain.
Meanwhile, the Anadolu forward Osmani also suffered a shoulder injury on the same night and might return in three weeks, according to Efes.
