Baldwin: “I’ll play on Thursday, an injury won’t stop me!”

Break with… good morning in the playoff series with an opponent Panathinaikos AKTOR did the Maccabi Tel Aviv, with the Israelis going through the OAKA with a score 91-87, thus getting the home advantage.

Beyond the victory, however, in the ranks of the “people’s team” there is concern about his condition Wade Baldwin, who during the third period felt a tightness back in the leg.

However, with his statements, the 28-year-old explosive guard clarified that he feels better and that will compete in Game 2 of the series (25/04, 21:15), since an injury will not stop him in such a crucial match.

For the record, yesterday, the American guard finished the match with 15 points and 7 assists.

Wade Baldwin’s statements:



“I feel good and I will play on Thursday. An injury won’t stop me at this point. We found a way to win the first game on a difficult pitch. Everyone in the team played well and we managed to get the first win in the series.

We’ve been in great form as a team over the last couple of months and it was a really big win to open the playoffs, but we still need to win two more games. We were in exactly the same situation a year ago in Monaco and ended up losing the series. We did the job in the first game and now we have to prepare and try to get another win.”
