Bullets Star Guard Out 8 Weeks
10 Oct
Summary
- Star point guard Arnas Velicka faces an eight-week layoff due to injury.
- Velicka had played through a prior nagging injury before the setback.
- The Bullets are now seeking an injury replacement player.
Brisbane Bullets' star point guard, Arnas Velicka, is set to miss an estimated eight weeks of action following an injury sustained during a recent game against the Cairns Taipans. This significant setback comes after Velicka had reportedly been playing through a persistent, minor injury.
Velicka's absence is a considerable blow for the Bullets, who have started their season with a 2-3 record. He has been a dominant force under new coach Will Weaver, averaging 13.8 points, a league-leading 10.2 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game. His on-court chemistry with teammate Tyrell Harrison has been a highlight for the team.
The team is already dealing with another injury to Sam McDaniels, who is expected to be out for six weeks. To address the depleted roster, the Bullets are bringing in Mawot Mag as an injury replacement player. Brisbane is scheduled to play the Illawarra Hawks next on Sunday.
