According to Valencia's official announcement, Prepelic suffered a muscle tear in the soleus of his left leg.

The club estimates that 4 weeks of recovery will be needed, which will essentially close the door for Prepelic to return before the end of the EuroLeague regular season.

"Prepelic asked for the substitution because he hurt his calf. It doesn't look good," head coach Alex Mumbru said after the match.

Valencia ended up winning the game 80-72. Before exiting the game, Prepelic managed to score 3 points, grab 3 rebounds, and dish out 3 assists for 10 PIR in 10 minutes of playing time.

The Slovenian guard averages 7.1 points and 3.1 assists for 6.9 PIR per game in the EuroLeague.
