Despite first beliefs about a minor injury, Efes head coach Ergin Ataman provided a non-optimistic statement regarding Micic's health condition.

"I am not sure whether Vasilije Micic will be able to play until the end of the season," Ataman said, via Mozzart Sport.

"It is still not known exactly, everything will probably be known on Monday," Micic's agent Misko Raznatovic told 24sedam.

There is no official club information about this case.

Long-term Micic's absence could affect Anadolu Efes' chances to make the EuroLeague playoffs, as the back-to-back champions rank 11th with 12 wins and 12 losses. 

Micic played his last match for Efes at the beginning of February, when his team lost to Olympiacos Piraeus in Round 23.

Reigning EuroLeague Final Four MVP averages 16.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 19.0 PIR (3rd overall) over 23 EuroLeague games this season.
