In an attempt to block a shot, the Serbian wingman landed awkwardly on his left foot and completely twisted his ankle. Dobric left the court with the help of people from Virtus' medical staff. His time of absence is still to be determined.

Virtus beat Pezaro 83-66, and Dobric scored 9 points (4/5 FGs) along with 3 rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes. However, his injury overshadowed both his performance and the game's result.

Dobric has suffered similar injuries in a relatively short period of time. In the final of the World Cup in Manila, at the very beginning of the game against Germany, he also twisted his ankle, which is why he could no longer return to the game and help his teammates in the Serbian national team.

Just a few months later, he suffered an identical injury while playing for Virtus.

There is no doubt that a longer break awaits him, and only after the swelling has subsided and the recording is done will the recovery period be known.
