Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade registered an 81-86 road win at Split in the Adriatic League over the weekend, and it did so with only 11 players available as Shake Milton, Vanja Marinkovic and Mario Nakic all missed out.
While Nakic will be sidelined for a while with a knee problem, and Marinkovic was back in training when the team returned to Belgrade, the team will be without Milton in the double-round week due to an ankle sprain. The American guard hurt his ankle in Partizan's Round 3 win over Anadolu Efes Istanbul.
"Milton will definitely not travel to Spain," coach Zeljko Obradovic told reporters after practice on Monday. "The medical team's assessment is that it is better for him to stay in Belgrade, and hopefully he will be back in practice when we return."
Partizan, which has won its last two games – both at home – after an opening-day loss at Dubai Basketball, travels to the Spanish capital to play Real Madrid on Wednesday before visiting Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on Friday.
