The forward has been granted permission to temporarily leave the club to fly to the USA to attend to family matters, Partizan announced. It's not specified for how much time LeDay will spend in the States.

Originally from Dallas, Texas, LeDay was the second-highest scorer in the matchup, notching 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting alongside 6 rebounds for 19 PIR.

LeDay is 5th in the EuroLeague in average playing time and plays a crucial role in head coach Zeljko Obradovic's plans. The 29-year-old averages 10.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists for 13.3 PIR per game this season.

With Partizan's next game in the ABA League against FMP Beograd scheduled on Saturday, LeDay is certain to miss it.

After the loss, Partizan are currently 10th in the EuroLeague standings with 13 wins and 16 losses.
