Barcelona confirmed that the 30-year-old guard suffered a psoas (lower back) muscle injury and will be out for 2-3 weeks.

The Spanish guard suffered an injury in the first quarter after slipping while pressing his opponent. Although Brizuela returned to the bench, the club later confirmed he would not re-enter the game.

This adds to an already challenging season, as Barcelona previously lost Nicolas Laprovittola for the year due to an ACL tear and Raul Neto for four weeks after he injured his adductor in his left leg.

In 11 EuroLeague games this season, Brizuela has averaged 6.3 points, 1.8 assists, and 3.9 PIR.
