Former NBA forward Cedi Osman faces three months on the sidelines after undergoing urgent surgery on a badly torn meniscus in his knee. PAOK, his Greek club, confirmed in a statement that the operation had been a success. The blow could hardly be bigger, yet head coach Andrea Trinchieri chose to dedicate Sunday's victory to the Turkish forward.
"Whoever even thinks we can replace Cedi Osman, as a player or as a person on our team, doesn't understand basketball," Trinchieri told reporters. "Today, we did it for Cedi and for the team. The surgery went very well, and that's great news," he added.
