A few days ago, European basketball was shocked by his injury Matias Lessor in his game Panathinaikou AKTOR with her Baskonia. A shocking injury, which will leave the French center out of action for at least four months, while it brought emotion and sadness to both the players of the two teams, as well as to the fans of the “clover” who were in his closed OAKA.
THE Chima Monekewho found himself in said phase, described on his channel “Amerikanos24” in a creepy way what happened. The forward of the Spanish team reports that his ankles Lessor they had an opposite course and he can’t even describe the scene with the screams of the Panathinaikos player.
“I walked in front of my counter and everyone’s reactions were like slow motion”he then argues.
She bent down when she saw his expressions Juancho Hernangomet when the game restarted… “There were 9 minutes left in the third period and I just felt nauseous. Like I wanted to cry, I just wanted to not be there. Then we started the game, Juancho made a three-pointer and he was crying. That bent me.”
It turned out that the worst of all was that the players had to continue and finish the game…
The relevant passage from 52:55:
“I was the one involved in the injury, which was heartbreaking. And after the fact that Lessor is my friend, it was just ridiculous. But I go back to the beginning of the game which for me was like I had no idea. I texted him, but when I was driving I was thinking that I twisted the ankle on Matias’ leg. I didn’t even know it was his leg at the time. A little while ago I had turned my ankle and I said I can’t get injured. I got up to take the shots.
The second half started Trent gives me a pass I go to get the ball and Matias steals first. And then I feel his leg hitting me, but I don’t think it was anything. And then I see him fall down. I can hear him I can’t even describe him screaming man. And then I see Donda Hall’s reaction and it’s like he saw something really horrible and then he falls to the floor and I say what happened. He told me look at Matias, and he is still on the floor.
When he moved to the side and turned onto his back I saw his ankles go the opposite way. And I’m like oh my god, he turned it I couldn’t look. I walked in front of my counter and everyone’s reactions were like slow motion. I was thinking about various injuries, some I had seen on TV and now I saw it in front of me. I remember when I went to sit on my bench, Grant came up to me. I couldn’t look. I said the season was over for him. I see Huacho crying, I was looking at my bench players but I didn’t want to look at anything else.
There were 9 minutes left in the third period and I just felt nauseous. Like I wanted to cry, I just wanted to not be there. Then we started the game, Juancho made a three-pointer and he was crying. That bent me.
The game stopped and what followed was like a movie. Fans were screaming, someone passed out or had a cardiac arrest. We had to stop because there was a lot of commotion and it was in different parts of the field. It was a lot.
The worst part was that we had to finish the game. I had already sprained my ankle and didn’t want to play anymore. Then I thought about Matias, he is free in the summer, he deserves all this money he gets.
I messaged him right away. And he laughs at me saying “you didn’t have to send me”. His whole attitude is great. He was in good spirits and said that “we can’t mess with God, and that everything happens for a reason”
He told me to say thank you to Howard for what he did with the prayer. It was an unreal day for everyone but I’m proud of him and the mentality he has. This moment will haunt me for the rest of my career.
When we left for the airport several people had texted me and then I just broke down crying and Howard came to hug me. It was just horrible. I love you Matias, my best wishes, I hope you recover soon.”
