Valencia rules key player out for the remainder of the EuroLeague regular season

Valencia is fighting for a spot in the EuroLeague playoffs, but will not have a full roster available for the regular season finale.

The Spaniards have officially announced that Klemen Prepelic is dealing with a left leg injury (muscle tear in the soleus) and will be sidelined for the next four weeks. Hence, he will miss the remaining five games, as the regular season comes to an end on April 14.

¡Animo @prle_10! 💪

Klemen Prepelic has appeared in 27 games in the EuroLeague this season, averaging 7.1 points, 3.1 assists and a PIR of 6.9, on 50% from the field and 26.9% from beyond the arc.

Valencia has a 14-15 record in the standings and is just one win away from the final playoff spot with five games to go in the regular season. They still have to play Monaco (road), Crvena Zvezda (road), Zalgiris Kaunas (road), Virtus Bologna (home) and Barcelona (road).
