The setbacks are accumulating for Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, which will not be able to count on Arturs Kurucs in their two following games: the ACB duel with San Pablo Burgos in the Buesa Arena and the EuroLeague Round 23 contest against Panathinaikos at OAKA next Friday.
As indicated by the club through a medical report, the Latvian guard has tested positive for covid-19 prior to the game, which means that he must remain isolated at home.
No new cases have been detected within the staff in the backup tests. Kurucs joins Alec Peters on the covid-19 absentee list, as the American stretch forward tested positive before the game against Bayern Munich last Friday.
22-year-old Kurucs is averaging only 0.8 points and 0.6 rebounds per EuroLeague game this season.
