Giorgi Shermadini, the experienced player from Tenerife, has ended his season after sustaining two injuries during an Liga Endesa game.
Just ten days after becoming the top scorer in the FIBA Champions League, the Georgian basketball player will have to conclude his season due to injury. He played only five minutes in the game against Breogan before leaving the court due to injury.
Detailed examinations revealed that the 35-year-old center suffered a fracture of the ninth rib on the left side. Additionally, he sustained a lung injury, which requires medical supervision in the hospital.
Giorgi Shermadini had a fantastic season behind him. In 32 games played in the Liga Endesa, he averaged 12 points and 5.2 rebounds. Regarding the recently concluded FIBA Champions League, he had similar statistics. Tenerife was defeated in the final in Belgrade by Unicaja, and throughout the competition, the Georgian player averaged 12.4 points and 4.6 rebounds.
This will be a significant setback for the team from the Canary Islands for the remainder of the season. One of the most experienced teams in Europe has secured a place in the playoffs of the domestic championship, and it remains to be seen from which position they will start the playoffs.
