Virtus Segafredo Bologna big man Jordan Mickey sustained a sprained right ankle during Saturday's Italian League game against Nutribullet Treviso, as officially announced by the club.

Mickey is already in the recovery phase and is slated for a re-evaluation in 2-3 weeks, according to the same report.

His absence will be felt, as the 29-year-old has averaged 11.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 10.9 PIR across seven EuroLeague games this season. Mickey's performance has been instrumental in Virtus' strong 5-2 record.

Virtus are set to kick off their EuroLeague double-round week with an Italian derby against Milan at home on Tuesday, followed by a trip to Athens to face Panathinaikos on Friday.
