EuroLeague summer free agency was wild. Legendary clubs are rebuilding from scratch, former NBA stars are coming to play overseas, and iconic players are doing the unthinkable and joining the arch-rivals. With so much noise for the last 3-4 months, it was easy to miss out on a bunch of deals. For some reason, a bunch of signings received less love or hate. Simply less attention.
Poland national team and Panathinaikos Athens center Aleksander Balcerowski shared some positive news after his scary fall in a game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. "Luckily, everything is fine. Nothing serious at the moment, only a hard hit," Balcerowski shared on his Instagram story.
The Polish national team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina to win the Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament but a scary sight happened with just under a minute left in the game. With 39 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Aleksander Balcerowski attempted an alley-oop dunk after a pass from Mateusz Ponitka. The big man was stopped mid-air by Jusuf Nurkic and violently fell to the ground.
