Lorenzo Brown went to the locker room after just 4:27 of play in the Maccabi-ALBA game with what seems to be an ankle injury.

Brown slipped and twisted his ankle. He was in visible pain.

Maccabi head coach Oded Katash provided an update in a half-time interview: "Probably we are going to miss him tonight, we'll see."

Indeed, Brown did not return to the game. He finished the match scoreless.

The 32-year-old guard is an undisputable leader in Maccabi's team.

Brown plays his best season in the EuroLeague, averaging 17.4 points (6th in the league), 3.4 rebounds, 6.3 assists (3rd), and 18.0 PIR (6th) over 19 games.

Despite losing their front-runner, Maccabi ended up winning a game at home, 87-74. Wade Baldwin came up huge in Brown's absence, scoring a career-high 33 points.
