The player flew to Madrid the day after Game 4 to undergo surgery. According to Avramovic's post on Instagram, the procedure went smoothly:

Thank you all for your words of support. The surgery was done yesterday and everything went as well as possible. Thank you to the Partizan doctors, thank you to the doctor Ignacio Roger de Ona who performed the operation! I hope that the full recovery will go smoothly! Guys, I'm waiting for you in Madrid.

The doctor who performed the surgery was previously responsible for Balsa Koprivica's recovery after a similar injury earlier in the season. As Avramovic noted, he will remain in Madrid and join the team when they arrive in Spain for Game 5 of the series.

Partizan will have Kevin Punter on the roster in Game 5 after the star guard served the two-game suspension the EuroLeague imposed after a brawl in Game 2.

Guerschon Yabusele will not be available for Real Madrid as he's still under the 5-game suspension. Gabriel Deck will not play as well. The Argentinian forward tore his MCL in Game 4.

Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday, May 10th, at 21:00 CET.

Whichever way Game 5 goes, one of the teams will write its name in EuroLeague history. If Real win, they will become the first team to win the series after being 0-2. If Partizan come out victorious, they will become the first team to win Game 5 away from home.
