The shooting guard is out for the ACB match against Joventut Badalona, which is scheduled for today at 18:30 CET. Moreover, he is awaiting further tests to find out the exact extent of the inconvenience, via the report.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes (plantar fascia).

According to FC Barcelona, Dante Exum has been registered for Liga ACB in Higgins' place.

The 32-year-old Higgins is averaging 9.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 8.4 PIR over 13 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games this season.

He is posting a bit higher averages in nine ACB matches, registering 10.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 9.8 PIR.
