Zalgiris Kaunas guard Keenan Evans already had surgery and will stay out of action for six to eight months.
Per Zalgiris‘ press release: “The American guard suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the first minute of Thursday night’s game against Fenerbahce Istanbul.
The player felt a sharp pain after landing on the floor. Immediately after the injury, Zalgiris‘ guard was taken to Gijos clinics, where the tests confirmed the diagnosis of a ruptured Achilles tendon.
