Could Sergey Karasev play in Eurobasket this summer?
Russian sports media took particular note this week of Sergei Karasev's vacation plans, noting that Karasev and his new wife are vacationing in Puerto Rico. It's as if they're asking, "hey, isn't this guy supposed to be rehabbing?" Seems odd ... except when you know the background.
Sergey Karasev tore his MCL and dislocated his kneecap in March and underwent knee surgery. At the time, the Nets medical director Dr. Riley J. Williams III said "A full recovery is anticipated, and he is expected to be ready for training camp next season." But Dr. Williams said nothing about FIBA Eurobasket, the European championships, which begins August 24 in France.
