Valencia Basket guard Jared Harper had to leave the court during the EuroLeague Round 13 win at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne due to an injury to the back of his right thigh.

Subsequent imaging tests revealed that Harper has a tear in the hamstring muscles of his right leg, via the official team announcement.

As a result, he will be sidelined for Valencia's upcoming games, with his return depending on his recovery progress.

In a separate incident, forward Xabi Lopez-Arostegui was unable to complete Sunday's ACB League game at UCAM Murcia after sustaining an injury to his left ankle.

Fortunately, his setback was diagnosed as a slight sprain, the team says.

However, his availability for Friday's EuroLeague game against Olympiacos Piraeus is uncertain and will depend on how well he responds to treatment.
