The 22-year-old guard-forward has suffered a rupture of his thigh muscle, which requires rest and therapeutic treatment, and will be absent for a long period of time, the club announced.

According to Partizan, Trifunovic will undergo a test in ten days, after which the exact time of his absence will be determined. The Serbian international, who missed the 2023 World Cup due to a long-term injury, received a nasty blow from Luis Olinde in the first half of the EuroLeague Round 9 game, and fell on the floor.

He got up, hit both free throws, but did not return to the court after the break. And unfortunately, not for a while.

Trifunovic has averaged 3.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists this season in the EuroLeague. In the ABA League, he's had a significant contribution with 6.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
