San Antonio Spurs big man Joffrey Lauvergen suffered a left knee injury in a game on Tuesday between Team France vs. Team Croatia before Eurobasketball 2017, according to the French Basketball Federation (h/t News4SanAntonio.com). Lauvergne had the knee examined, and will be allowed to continue to get ready for Eurobasket.
Of course, this could have been worse, given sports league’s history of knee injuries that can be a torn ACL, MCL, PCL, or patella tendon, among other ailments. So, it’s a positive to see Lauvergne will be okay and just needs rest before a return to the court.
