Bayern's head coach Andrea Trinchieri confirmed that their point guard Corey Walden won't be ready to help them in Game 3 against Barcelona.

A 53-year-old Italian added that Leon Radosevic's situation would be clear on game day.

A 32-year-old center, who averages 3.6 points and 1.6 rebounds this season, didn't finish Game 2 due to a foot injury he suffered in the opening minutes of the match.

He didn't play in a German league game this weekend.

"I don't know. I would say Walden no. Hilliard, of course, no. And we will see with Radosevic tomorrow," coach Trinchiedi said to BasketNews on Tuesday.

In the last three months, Corey Walden played a single EuroLeague game (March 4 vs. Olympiacos). He had coronavirus, and now he's still recovering from a back injury.

Walden averaged 9.8 points on 42.5% 3-point shooting and 2.5 assists in 25 EuroLeague games.

Bayern lost Darrun Hilliard to a most likely season-ending injury in Game 1. He was Bayern's top-scorer, averaging 13.8 points per the EuroLeague contest.

Bayern will host Barcelona in Munich on Wednesday and Friday. The Germans tied the series in Barcelona 1-1.
