His return time is expected to be between 2-3 weeks, via the official report.

One of Fenerbahce's leaders sustained an injury in yesterday's Istanbul derby.

With just over 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter and Fenerbahce leading by 11 (92-81), Wilbekin was driving to the basket when he was tripped by Dee Bost while hanging in the air. Wilbekin immediately fell to the ground grabbing onto his left knee.

After a minute of medical supervision, he was able to get up and limped to the bench.

The former Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv guard is second in scoring and assists in Fenerbahce in the EuroLeague, averaging 12.5 points and 3.1 dimes over 10 games.

After starting the season 9-1, Fenerbahce will face Real Madrid on Friday.
