A very important but “Pyrrhic” victory for him Olympic at Palau Blaugrana on Wednesday night against Barcelona for the first leg of the quarter-finals.

The “red and whites” broke the headquarters of the Catalans, they took the advantage but they cannot celebrate it as they would like as their mind is on Philip Petrushev.

The unlucky Serbian tall, a few days after returning to action from a previous injury, collapsed to the floor at 39’25’, appearing to be in considerable pain.

The “double” attempt of the “bluegreens” to stop him in the air with the score at 72-75, caused his injury. Of course he sat on the bench immediately (the shots were executed by the cold Larentzakis who had cold blood 2/2) and as informed by Olympic after the match, the Serb will undergo tests on Thursday morning (25/4) to determine the extent of the damage.

Initially there was a feeling of serious damage to his knee, mainly because of the reactions and grimaces of the player but also because he left supported by the help of his teammates.

However, the fact that after the end of the race he left without help-support, walking, is an optimistic message for the diagnosis. A clear picture will of course be available after he undergoes the necessary tests and the results of these come out.

THE Philip Petrushev he was one of his key players Olympiakou in the “double” in Barcelona in Game 1, scoring 12 points (4/4 doubles, 0/1 triples and 4/5 shots) while also securing 5 rebounds. Among others, the “caught” Serb was the one with the highest PIR (16 points) among his players Olympiakou, in an evening with many different protagonists.
