Per the report, Lighty will be sidelined for two months, at least.

He suffered an injury in the weekend's game against Paris Basketball.

ASVEL's vice-captain averaged 10 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 11.8 PIR over 4 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games this season.

In 4 Pro LNB A contests, David Lighty posted 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 8.3 PIR.

The 1.95-meter swingman missed the start of the season due to personal reasons. He gradually gained strength and came out of his best match in EuroLeague against UNICS Kazan (19 points).
