Bayern will be without star guard Carsen Edwards for their crucial Play-In game against Real Madrid due to a back injury, with his status to be re-evaluated in the coming weeks.
FC Bayern Munich received a major blow ahead of their do-or-die EuroLeague Play-In game against Real Madrid on Friday night. The league's second-best scorer, Carsen Edwards, will be sidelined due to a back injury, according to the official report.
The All-EuroLeague First Team member for 2024-25 will miss several weeks of action, per the same report.
Edwards had already played through discomfort in the opening Play-In Tournament game against Crvena Zvezda, a 97-93 overtime win, but his injury now requires further evaluation.
The 27-year-old scored 17 points vs. Zvezda on Tuesday. Edwards has averaged 20.4 points per game over 35 games this EuroLeague season.
Throughout the season, Bayern coach Gordon Herbert had rested Edwards several times in the German League, with the guard sitting out five of 27 games.
