According to the team's head coach, Ettore Messina, Mirotic will likely receive 15 minutes of playing time against Dinamo Sassari in the Lega Basket Serie A.

The match-up will take place on January 28 in the court of Olimpia Milano.

Mirotic had gone down with a flare-up of his left Achilles tendinopathy in mid-December and has not seen EuroLeague action since then. In his absence, Milan has accumulated a record of 6 wins and 4 losses.

This season, the Spanish-Montenegrin forward had been averaging 17.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game until his injury.
