The Serbian point guard hit the game-winner with only two-tenths of a second left to bring the club to the final. Following the game, the player received an MRI.

Today, Micic provided an update on his status.

"I got hit in the second quarter as you all saw. I played until the end and I found a way to contribute and be involved all game long," the player explained. "For today, we will see but I think it's not that serious."

Micic shot only 5-for-16 from the field yesterday. Prior to the game-winning shot, Efes had missed 9 three-pointers in a row, four of them coming from Micic himself. Overall, he finished the game with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists.

"I felt injured when McKissic hit me in the fast break," the Serbian guard told yesterday after the game. "The good thing about this injury is that it forced me to make smarter plays. I played patient and calm."

"Although I missed these free throws, I still felt okay. I felt good enough to finish the game," he continued. "This step back was strong enough to finish it."

"Although I missed previous shots, I stayed calm. I stayed positive to take that last shot. And I made it," Micic told BasketNews after the game. "We won the semifinal, and now we have to stay focused, recover our bodies, and prepare for the final."
