Nikola Topic injured his left knee during Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet's 88-72 win over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.

The Serbian club announced that Topic will be sidelined for 4 to 6 weeks.

Topic 18, who returned to the team's ranks last week, sustained a setback in the third quarter and asked to be subbed out.

The medical team of the Serbian champion tried to enable the player to return to the game. However, Topic spent the rest of the outing in the dressing room and on the bench.

After the end of the game, it was visible that he was limping, and according to the information from Sport Klub, he sprained his knee.

The squad coached by Giannis Sfairopoulos is traveling to Ljubljana on Friday, where they play Cedevita Olimpija a day later.

"I am not sure that Luka Mitrovic will play against Cedevita Olimpija," the Greek coach admitted Thursday after the derby.

Zvezda's captain might return to the court next week, while Joel Bolomboy didn't suffer a significant injury and will be ready for the upcoming game.
