Basketball Trieste Faces Mid-March Derby without Key Playmaker
Basketball Trieste faces a significant challenge ahead of a crucial derby, as star playmaker Colbey Ross will be sidelined until at least mid-March. Ross underwent thumb surgery on February 7th and, while recovering well, will miss the March 2nd clash against Treviso.
Ross’s Recovery Timeline
General Manager Michael Arcieri commented, “Ross is improving and pain-free, but we need to wait at least another ten days to get a clearer picture of his recovery time.” This delay casts a shadow over Trieste’s chances in the upcoming derby.
Valentine’s Injury Status Remains uncertain
Another key player, Denzel Valentine, is also in doubt after sustaining an injury during the italian Cup semifinal against Trento. An ultrasound has been performed, and the team awaits further updates on his condition.
Team Focus Shifts to Championship Planning
Despite these setbacks, the team will return to training next Monday, focusing on preparing for the remainder of the championship. Meanwhile, the transfer market continues to buzz, with Varese signing Elijah Mitrou-Long and Milan dealing with Leandro Bolmaro’s injury.
