It is unclear whether the Real Madrid forward will be available for the upcoming EuroLeague game against FC Barcelona on Thursday.

Chus Mateo on the possible return of Usman Garuba to Palau:

"The most normal thing is no, but I wouldn't say 100% no. We have to give him some time to get used to new things because he hasn't been in the dynamic for a long time."

Before the season, Garuba was recovering from a left foot fracture. Despite initial expectations for a longer recovery, Garuba made a quicker-than-anticipated return before being sidelined with knee discomfort.

The Spanish international only played 4:38 in Madrid’s EuroLeague loss to FC Bayern Munich but was excluded from the squad for the next game against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade.

In the one game Garuba played this season in the EuroLeague, he scored 2 points and played 4 minutes.
