Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz will be without point guard Trent Forrest and shooting guard Markus Howard for the foreseeable future after both players sustained injuries during Wednesday’s Round 4 matchup against Paris Basketball. Neither returned to the court after halftime.
Forrest suffered a muscle injury to the hamstring in his left leg, while Howard sustained a joint injury to a finger on his left hand. The club confirmed the diagnoses upon returning to Vitoria-Gasteiz and announced that both players will miss the upcoming Round 5 game against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.
Their recovery progress will determine their return timeline. Howard is averaging 7.0 points per game this season. Forrest has been a standout performer in the EuroLeague, posting 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and a PIR of 17.8 across four games, in addition to shooting 94.1% from the free-throw line.
