Israeli media: “Difficult for Baldwin on Tuesday, he might only return for the 5th match against Panathinaikos”

Difficult, at least in Tuesday’s match, is his participation Wade Baldwin, as reported by Israeli media. The American guard, who suffered a contusion in Game 1 between Panathinaikos and Maccabi and was absent from Game 2, traveled to Croatia to undergo treatments in a special center. On Monday he will meet the mission directly in Belgrade and his condition will be seen.

The Walla Sports report states: “The big question that will remain unanswered until Monday or even Tuesday is Baldwin’s participation in the Belgrade games. Although initially it was said that he might play in the second game, his tests on Wednesday showed that he has a small bruise in his hamstring and he did not play yesterday. Maccabi’s assessment on his return to Israel is that the chances of Baldwin playing next week are slim, despite his strong desire to play. It is said that the main hope is that if there is a fifth game it will reappear there. He flew from Athens to Croatia and will undergo treatments. He will be integrated into the team on Monday and the chances of him playing the day after, almost without training, are slim. Maccabi said last night that under other circumstances, with such an injury, Baldwin would be out for 2-3 weeks. The decision will be taken after all sides have discussed. Even if the player really wants to play, there is a risk of relapse and we have to deal with it responsibly».
