Vlatko Cancar suffered a ACL injury in the preparation match against Greece, and now he has a longer break ahead of him.
The Denver player was unlucky. Although the first information after the injury seemed fine, a detailed examination revealed a torn ligaments. After it was definitely announced what kind of injury it was, Cancar published his message through the official accounts of Slovenia:
“While I was eagerly anticipating my debut at the World Cup, fate, unfortunately, got in the way of my plans. There is a lot of disappointment, but injuries are an integral part of the sport, and I have to look forward optimistically. I hold the belief that I’ll return to the court even stronger. I want to express my gratitude to my teammates and the national team staff for their unwavering support during these days.
I extend my best wishes to the national team as they continue their preparations in a positive atmosphere and head decisively to the World Cup. Though I’ll be supporting them from a distance, I assure you I’ll be their loudest supporter.“
After a powerful dunk, he landed awkwardly, prompting assistance from the medical team due to knee pain. Subsequent MRI results on Saturday revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
