Petrusev has avoided a serious injury and ended up with a bone swelling. Regardless, the Serbian player is set to be sidelined for 15 days, SDNA report.

The 23-year-old will surely miss the upcoming Greek League (ESAKE) game against Apollon Patras (March 24th) and the EuroLeague matchup against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (March 28th).

It is currently unclear whether Petrusev will be able to play in the following EuroLeague game against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (April 4th).

After joining the team mid-season following an unsuccessful stint in the NBA, Petrusev has been averaging 5.5 points and 3.2 rebounds for 6.9 PIR in the EuroLeague.
