Trailing by 7 (84-91), Virtus Segafredo Bologna had the ball. Milos Teodosic missed a triple and Ojeleye took the offensive rebound. Seconds later, the forward grabbed onto his right hamstring and hobbled out of the court.

After additional tests were performed, it was revealed that the player will be sidelined for four weeks due to a right hamstring injury.

"Ojeleye's injury is a very unfortunate coincidence for the type of player he is, considering he is one of the pillars on which the team is built," head coach Sergio Scariolo said after an Italian League (LBA) match against Tenezis Verona yesterday.

Iffe Lundberg missed the local game as well while Mouhammadou Jaiteh didn't play although he was registered.

"Jaiteh was sick yesterday, he was in decent condition today and we preferred to let him rest," Scariolo said about the big man. The coach also revealed that Lundberg will practice individually this week.
