Alex Abrines left Barca's game in Gran Ganaria in pain. The Spanish international has avoided a bone fracture in his knee, but might miss the coming EuroLeague double-week.
FC Barcelona escaped Gran Canaria 77-74 for Round 16 of the Spanish league. Standing at 8-8, the Catalan side is close to finishing in the top 8 of the league after the end of the first round, which will ensure its presence in the final-8 of the Spanish Cup.

The black spot of the match, however, was Alex Abrines' injury, who collided with an opponent player at the end of the third quarter and had to be carried off the court in tears.
However, according to the club, the Spanish guard/forward has avoided a fracture after undergoing medical tests at Las Vegas Medical Center.
However, the 31-year-old is extremely doubtful for the EuroLeague double-week, which includes games against Panathinaikos on Wednesday and Anadolu Efes on Friday. In 19 EuroLeague games this year, Abrines has averaged 5.6 points (39% on 3-point shooting) and 2.3 rebounds per 18 minutes.
