Sasa Obradovic talked in a post-game presser after Monaco won against Olimpia Milano, stating that they need more additions. Obradovic was also asked to give an update on Furkan Korkmaz' injury.
AS Monaco won against Olimpia Milano today, 93-80, and head coach Sasa Obradovic gave some updates about his team.
First of all, he was asked to give an update on status of Furkan Korkmaz, who left the court in the middle of 3rd period and never returned back.
"Without Nick Calathes we are struggling a little bit in the guard position, we also need to be careful with Mike James to get him in game shape because he started practicing a week ago, you saw that everything is different with him on the floor."
"We'll also see what's happening with Furkan Korkmaz and his leg after he left the court," clarified Obradovic.
Before leaving the court, Korkmaz was bothered by pain in the groin area. In 14 minutes of action, the Turkish forward accumulated 10 points (4/6 FG, 1/2 3PT), 1 rebound, 2 steals, and 8 PIR.
"You could see a talented guy there. His talent is obvious, he's getting better and better each practice. Even today, in limited minutes, he was productive," Obradovic said about Korkmaz.
The Serbian coach also stated that Monaco must bring some reinforcements to its existing squad due to a shortage of healthy players in guard positions.
"We need some additions. Calathes will come back, but we are struggling with this. I think we should go on the market, it's obvious what we are missing and what should we search for, someone in the combo guard position," Obradovic concluded.
