Iffe Lundberg is set to miss at least two more weeks of Partizan action, as his condition doesn't allow him to return before the end of the year.

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade are in a great momentum as the only undefeated team in the ABA league after the 11th round, in addition to a 4-game winning streak in the EuroLeague.

However, there are several issues that might prevent the Serbian outfit to finish 2024 in style. First of all, Iffe Lundberg remains sidelined and will probably miss the games Partizan have left to play in the year.

The Dane suffered a muscle tear in his hip, an injury for which maximum rest is generally recommended. That's why he was not in the lineup last week, and as Sportklub first reported, he will certainly spend at least another two weeks out of action.

Lundberg is set to miss the Round 15 contest against ALBA Berlin on December 11, while his participation in the remaining games until the New Year, including the EuroLeague duels with ASVEL, Anadolu Efes and Fenerbahce, is also a big question mark. In the ABA League, he will probably miss the derby against Crvena Zvezda on December 23. 

Lundberg played his last game against Olympiakos at the end of November (Round 12). This season, he's averaging 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. 

On the other hand, Mario Nakic has finally returned to training after a long break and his return is in sight, even though there's no specific timeline yet. 

Recently, Brandon Davis had a nose problem that caused him to wear a protective mask in the match against Panathinaikos. The experienced big man skipped the visit to Igokea for the ABA League, but will definitely be in the lineup for the clash with ALBA.
