His services Scotty Wilbekin will be out for a long time – maybe even the whole season – Fenerbahcewith the American guard seriously injured in yesterday’s game game with Olympiakos, in the premiere of the two teams in the Euroleague.
The 31-year-old explosive guard was injured in an unsuspected phase late in the first period, with tests showing that he has suffered a cruciate ligament tear in his right kneeas a result of which he has to immediately go through the door of the operating room.
Somehow, even before the start of this season, Fener is “forced” to enter the market for substitute of the multifaceted ace. According to “Eurohoops”, the people of the Turkish club have singled out his case Saben Lee of Manisa!
In fact, Sarunas Jasikevicius’ team is close to an agreement with the 25-year-old American point guard, who has played 134 games in the NBA with 5.2 points, 2.8 assists and 1.9 rebounds average with the Pistons, Sixers and Suns jerseys.
This summer he made the decision to come to Europe and play for Turkish side Manisa, impressing in his first game in the BCL, where he scored 36 points, 6 rebounds and as many assists in his team’s victory over Murcia!
