The Turkish club announced that the tests showed that Zizic suffered a muscle injury in his right calf, and the Croatian forward will be out for at least 3 weeks.

Zizic suffered the injury on Friday's game against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. Zizic could miss up to 4 games in this period.

BasketNews already reported that Anadolu Efes are interested in signing Justin Gorham or Mike Daum, with the latter being the frontrunner.

Derek Willis, Elijah Bryant, Tibor Pleiss, and Dogus Ozdemiroglu are also dealing with injuries and will be sidelined for the upcoming game against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade.

Currently, Tyrique Jones, Ercan Osmani, Burak Can Yildizli, and Salih Altuntas are the only remaining Efes options in the frontcourt.

This season, Zizic averages 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 11.3 PIR per game in 10 EuroLeague appearances.
