Longtime former NBA forward Cedi Osman will miss at least three months after undergoing surgery to repair an “extensive” tear of his right meniscus, as Eurohoops relays. Osman’s Greek team, PAOK, announced the news in a press release.
POAK head coach Andrea Trinchieri dedicated Sunday’s victory to Osman, according to Sportando.
“Whoever even thinks we can replace Cedi Osman, as a player or as a person on our team, doesn’t understand basketball,” Trinchieri said. “Today, we did it for Cedi and for the team. The surgery went very well, and that’s great news.”
