On the day both Kevin Pangos and Tommaso Baldasso returned to action, the Italian champs saw Shabazz Napier leave the Italian league game against Scafati visibly limping. The American guard sustained the injury in the second quarter of the match that his team ended up winning 89-80.

After falling on the court, Napier got back up, touching his right ankle. The player, who came out visibly despondent and with his head down, was surrounded on the bench by the medical staff.

He only got to play for just over 17 minutes. The player will undergo medical tests that will determine the time of his absence, in case that will be deemed necessary.

Napier, 31, is averaging 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in four EuroLeague games with Milan, as the Italian team remains unbeaten since he got to the fashion capital.

Leading the game for its entire duration, Milan captured their 16th win in 20 Serie A contests and continue to lead the standings, while Scafati suffered their 13th loss.

Billy Baron scored 20 points and dished out 4 assists, while Nicolo Melli had 14 points and 4 rebounds for Ettore Messina's team.

Kevin Pangos, who returned from injury after more than three months, stayed on the court for 14 minutes and chipped in with 2 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

Richard Rossato had 14 points and 3 rebounds, while Stan Okoye added 11 points and David Logan 10 for Scafati.

Milan are hosted by Valencia Basket on March 7, and two days later, they host Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.
