Josip Sesar the coach of the basketball team, for the qualifying Olympic tournament, and if we extend it, potentially also for the Olympic Games in Paris, he will have to compile a list of games without Roka Badžim (27), one of the most important Croatian ball players.
Šibenik’s back-shooter was seriously injured in the Turkish championship match between his team Merkezefendi and Buyucekmec, he ruptured his Achilles tendon, the thing that athletes least want to suffer because it is one of the most serious sports injuries, and usually the easiest recovery it requires six months, and in many cases much more, even twice as much.
Translated, Badžim finished this season, maybe even the year. During the Olympic pre-qualifications in Istanbul last summer, he was part of Sesar’s top five. Too bad…
