Yesterday, at the start of the friendly game against Melilla Ciudad del Deporte, Yannick Nzosa suffered an injury to his left foot that prevented him from playing the rest of the game. Following tests conducted today at Quirónsalud Málaga Hospital, the feared diagnosis has been confirmed: a fracture of the fifth metatarsal, which will sideline him for about three months.
A Unicaja side that was versatile in attack and rock-solid in defence clinched the 3rd Javier Imbroda Memorial with a 67–105 victory over Melilla Ciudad del Deporte.

Kendrick Perry was the standout performer with 19 points, 9 assists and a performance rating of 28. Yannick Nzosa was the only downside, having to leave the match after sustaining an injury to his left foot.
