Kyle Hines will grit his teeth for Olympia

Kyle Hines’ condition

Kyle Hines may be able to recover for Game 5 of the 2023 LBA Finals against Virtus Bologna.

Coming off the court in the third quarter of Game 4, the Olimpia center suffered a bruised left shoulder and will be monitored until just before the start of the game, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Also according to the rosea, there would be optimism: “Knowing Hines’ high threshold of pain tolerance, the chances that he can recover are very high, on the contrary coach Messina will have to dust off Brandon Davies, so far always excluded since the playoffs began.”

Last season Ettore Messina’s team returned to win the scudetto, snatching it from Virtus Segafredo Bologna’s jerseys. The red-and-whites, who had finished in second place in the regular season right behind Sergio Scariolo’s team, immediately brought the court factor to their side in the final series and never let the Felsinians catch them again. In the Euroleague, Sergio Rodriguez (who said goodbye to the Red Shoes in the summer to return to Spain) and his teammates were eliminated by Ergin Ataman’s Anadolu Efes, who would win the tournament for the second year in a row.
