The worst news was confirmed this Monday. The tests carried out on Nicolás Laprovittola, a 34-year-old Barça player, have revealed that he suffers a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee and an injury to the external meniscus, an injury that will force him to undergo surgery and that, It will surely keep him off the track for the rest of the season.
The Argentine star was injured this Sunday against Baskonia, when in a drive to the basket with 3m32s left in the game, he fell in a bad posture and injured his knee. He had to be carried on the shoulders of his teammates to the locker room.
The fateful moment
Laprovittola was injured in the final stretch of the duel against Baskonia
The first scans pointed to a sprain of the knee ligament but the medical tests he underwent this Monday confirmed that he suffered a tear, as reported by the Barça club itself.
Laprovittola will undergo surgery in the coming days and, subsequently, a period of absence will be established, but everything indicates that he will not wear shorts again this season given the severity of the injury.
At a strictly sporting level, the Argentine’s loss is a serious blow to the project that Joan Peñarroya is starting, who had a luxury wild card in Laprovittola, who alternated the positions of point guard and shooting guard.
