Not just Gabriele Procida. Is Italbasket at risk of appearing at the Pre-Olympic in Puerto Rico even without Simone Fontecchio?
These are the words of the Detroit Pistons winger in the press conference at the end of the NBA season: «At the beginning we thought it was just a blow to the big toe, but the recovery took longer than expected, I’m still fighting against it. Nothing serious, but a couple of ligaments, the sesamoid, are affected.”
The reference is to the stop that ended his season a month early. In fact, the last match dates back to March 17, 13 points in 35 minutes against the Miami Heat.
And the national team? Fontecchio, logically, doesn’t go too far, even if he wants to put the blue vest back on as soon as possible: «I’m focused on recovery, the problem needs to be solved, then I’ll think about the national team. I will return to Italy very soon and will work immediately with my physiotherapist and trainer. For now I don’t feel like saying anything.”
Simone Fontecchio’s words were reported by Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport.
