FC Barcelona shooter Alex Abrines suffered a scary hit and didn't return to the EuroLeague game in Kaunas. However, the first signs show his injury wasn't as serious as it looked.

Per BasketNews sources, Abrines suffered a mild concussion, and he's expected to return to the lineup after a few days.

"I don't know if he left for hospital or not," Barcelona head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius wasn't aware of Abrines situation straight after the game.

Zalgiris wing Ignas Brazdeikis accidentally elbowed Abrines to his ear. He couldn't get up from the floor for a while and left the floor dizzy.

However, Abrines stayed conscious in the locker room and left for the hotel with his teammates.

He registered 2 points in 16 minutes, but Zalgiris prevailed against Barcelona behind 15,146 fans.

Abrines appearance in the upcoming Spanish league game vs. Lenovo Tenerife is questionable. But the 29-year-old player is expected to be reevaluated in the forthcoming days, and there's a huge belief he will be ready to play next week.

Barcelona is hosting EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on October 28.

Abrines averages 6.2 points and two rebounds this year.
