With 44 seconds left on the clock, Shields drove to the basket but after a contact with Rudy Fernandez, he fell and started to experience pain in his right wrist. After the foul, Shields was unable to shoot the free throws and didn't enter the game again.

Shields was the top scorer for Milan last night, finishing with 18 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals in the loss against Real.

With Dinos Mitoglou already out, this injury is really bad news for Milan. Shields is a key player for the offensive system of coach Messina and with the type of injury he suffered is expected to miss at least one month of action, a source told Basketnews.

With yesterday's loss against Real Madrid, Milan now has a record of 10 wins and 6 losses in EuroLeague, still firmly in the playoff area.
