The Italian forward felt pain in his thigh in the second quarter of the game against Lietkabelis Panevezys and was unable to continue the match.

After tests, it was revealed that Polonara had a partially torn thigh muscle, which will take a few weeks to heal.

This means that he is unlikely to play again this season.

Polonara, who arrived in Kaunas at the beginning of January, was scoring 6.7 points and grabbing 6.2 rebounds per game in the domestic league.
