During the game against Zadar, Crvena Zvezda Belgrade’s standout forward Chima Moneke suffered an ankle injury after an awkward landing.
Crvena Zvezda defeated Zadar, but what concerned the Belgrade side was the injury to Moneke, who was forced to leave the court earlier.
Claim Now After landing awkwardly, he twisted his ankle and remained on the floor in visible pain.
His teammates and the medical staff helped him to his feet, and he was then able to walk to the bench on his own, which was a positive sign.
After the game, Moneke reassured fans via an Instagram story, writing: “I’m good,” easing concerns about the condition of the team’s best player.
Next week, Red Star will be on the road during the EuroLeague double week, facing Monaco and Virtus, following an impressive away win against Milano.
A spectacle on the horizon. 🔥
