After the game, the 25-year-old American guard shared a warm message on Instagram, thanking fans and the team for the support.

"Unfortunately, I suffered a pretty serious injury," Darko-Kelly wrote. "I would like to thank those who showed interest, it means a lot to me. Fans of PAOK, you are truly unique. I feel blessed to have supportive teammates, coaching staff, and the club on my side."

"I know I'm in good hands. I have to say goodbye to basketball for a while, but I'm ready to start the process of getting back to doing what I love. I know my story will be better because I know the author," he added.

Midway through the first quarter in a match against Unicaja Malaga, Darko-Kelly landed awkwardly while fighting for the defensive rebound and sustained an apparent ankle fracture. He left a game on a stretcher.

Darko-Kelly went overseas last year, signing with Riesen Ludwigsburg in Germany. PAOK is his third team in Europe.
