The Turkish club announced that Scottie Wilbekin won't be available for another 2-3 weeks, while Devin Booker suffered a left knee injury during the game against Real Madrid.

The tests showed a tear in Booker's left knee lateral ligament. His expected return date was not announced. However, EuroLeague's website reports that the 32-year-old American will miss at least three weeks of action.

On March 23, Fenerbahce announced that Wilbekin will miss at least two weeks of action because of a left knee (bone bruise) injury and would be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. After the latest update, Wilbekin will remain out for another 2-3 weeks.

Wilbekin averages 11.1 points, 1.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 10.1 PIR over 25 EuroLeague appearances this season.

Meanwhile, Booker averages 5.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 6.6 PIR per game in 31 EuroLeague contests.

In their two remaining EuroLeague regular season games, Fenerbahce will face Anadolu Efes Istanbul on Thursday and Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade on April 13.

Fenerbahce will qualify for the playoffs if they win against Efes and either Baskonia or Zalgiris lose in Round 33.

However, in case Fenerbahce lose both games, in addition to a few other results, the Turkish powerhouse might be eliminated from the playoffs.
