According to Sport.es, the Montenegrin forward is in the final stages of recovery and his return to the court is considered to be close.

Additionally, the news outlet reports that Kyle Kuric has healed from his injury and should be ready this week barring any setbacks.

This week in the EuroLeague, Barca travel to Turkey to face off against Anadolu Efes Istanbul. The match is scheduled to start at 18:30 CET on Thursday.
