Partizan defender Šejk Milton suffered a serious knee injury during the playoff quarterfinal against Bosna. The injury occurred after a contact, resulting in a dislocation of his knee cap.
The initial prognosis caused concern among the Partizan fans, as it suggested Milton would be out for at least two weeks, with further evaluations needed to determine the likelihood of a swift return to the court.
However, a detailed MRI brought some good news for Partizan's medical staff: the ligaments were not damaged, significantly increasing the chances of a complication-free recovery. Nonetheless, Milton will not return to the court for the remainder of the season.
Milton has been one of Partizan's key players this season in the ABA League, averaging 11.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
Partizan faces the first semi-final match against Crvena Zvezda on Monday, with the second leg scheduled three days later. If the result remains undecided, a decisive playoff game will be played on May 25.
