The Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade point guard got injured in Game 1 of the Serbian League (KLS) Finals after unsuccessfully landing on the floor. He was able to leave the court only helped by the team's medical staff.

Dos Santos showed up to Game 2 on Wednesday in crutches with his left leg in a protective boot. After sitting down, the player kept the leg up on a chair.

The Brazilian guard will definitely miss the entire finals series. His availability for the Brazilian national team is also in doubt.

Brazil begin the training camp on June 10th. Yago dos Santos is sure to miss the start of the training camp. His recovery time and the date of a possible comeback are currently unclear.

The FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Riga, Latvia, where Brazil will compete, starts on July 2nd.

Game 2 between Crvena Zvezda and Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade was interrupted in the third quarter after inappropriate chanting from the home Partizan fans.
