ACB Liga Endesa The Unicaja player undergoes surgery again and has been out for 16 months
El August 16, 2019, Dragan Milosavljevic I met the dark side of basketball. In the Oaka pavilion, in Athens, the forward of Unicaja disputed with Serbia a preparation match for the Mundobasket in China that later conquered Spain. Milo, in an attempt to plug a rival action, he broke the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Then began an ordeal that lasted longer than necessary due to the pandemic and the impossibility of advancing in the field work. Even so, he was expected on the court, already playing, before the end of 2020. In fact, in the last weeks it had already increased its intensity in some sessions with group exercises but without rival opposition.
However, the pain in the damaged joint persisted, so the decision was made to perform an arthroscopy. The origin of these new annoyances already have a name: inner meniscus tear. Translated, that “delay his incorporation to the team training”, as reported by Unicaja after confirming that he was operated on at the CHIP hospital by doctors Nogales and Dalla-Rosa.
Although there is no defined time for his return, and less with his background, everything indicates that Milosavljevic will not return, at the earliest, until after the Copa del Rey. 18 months have passed without playing a game. The Serbian, who had renewed shortly before his serious injury, ends his contract at the end of the season.
