Report: Davis Bertans tears ACL, will undergo surgery
As Project Spurs reported recently, Partizan forward Davis Bertans suffered a right knee injury in a game versus Crvena Zvezda in the Serbian
League Finals. It was a non-contact injury to his right knee and he was on the court in considerable pain.
An MRI was done and according to Euroleague.net, Bertans did sustain a tear his ACL in his right knee. He is expected to undergo surgery this week.
"It is a difficult situation", said Partizan head coach Dusko Vujosevic. "Davis took it pretty hard, but I am sure he will come out of this even stronger. Our club is behind him."
Bertans will likely miss the Eurobasket tournament this summer for Latvia in Slovenia and could could miss the entire 2013-14 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Regular Season. This also ends any chance he could have played for the San Antonio Spurs at this summer's NBA Summer League.

Miami's hands. While others charged that the move really reeked of desperation, it is the NBA Finals and you have to pull out all the stops here. And, boy, did Manu pull out all the stops.
There are plenty of players more qualified than San Antonio Spurs' Boris Diaw to defend LeBron James. Many have comparable athleticism (Paul George, Andre Iguodala), many have long arms to shut off his driving angles (Kawhi Leonard), and many have length (Kevin Durant) to bother his shot. The best defenders have a combination of the aforementioned attributes.
Spurs bigs. They have to make effective outlet passes to their guards, and more than a few transition buckets were generated by a couple of three pass sequences in which the ball barely (if at all) touched the hardwood. Boom, boom, boom, bang. The ball whirred from each destination to the next with little dribbling in between, giving Miami's defense little time to adjust.
