Olimpia Milano, three former Nba players are the names to replace Shavon Shields

Ettore Messina will have to do without Shavon Shields for several weeks

Olimpia Milano will have to do without Shavon Shields for several weeks following a tendon injury suffered in the game against Andrea Trinchieri’s Bayern Munich, valid for the fourth day of the Euroleague group stage.

The Meneghina management is working to give coach Ettore Messina the right profile capable of replacing the naturalized Danish American forward.

There are three names in Olimpia’s sights and they are all from players who have walked the floors overseas. The most quoted is that of Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot, in the NBA since 2016, who we remember mainly with the undershirts of Philadelphia and Brooklyn; in the last season instead he was Danilo Gallinari’s partner in Atlanta.

Also not to be underestimated is the track that would lead to the Greek, already seen overseas with Atlanta and Memphis, who has performed very well at Eurobasket 2022, Tyler Dorsey, at the moment, however, under contract with the Dallas Mavericks, after experiences with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Olympiakos.

The last viable avenue is the one leading to former Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors among others, Matt Thomas, who is currently the least attractive profile for the meneghini.
