Reyer Venezia, tegola for Neven Spahija: Jordan Parks has to stop

Muscle injury for Jordan Parks

Reyer Venezia will have to do without Jordan Parks in the coming weeks: the American basketball player has suffered a muscle problem that will force him to stop. The recovery time is an unknown: a first re-evaluation of the 30-year-old from Staten island will be performed by the medical staff in a couple of weeks.

"L'Umana Reyer announces that Jordan Parks, during Thursday’s training session, complained of a muscle soreness in his right thigh,” reads the official channels of the Orogranata club. “The investigations showed a muscle injury in the right groin area, which will be clinically re-evaluated in two weeks".

Parks will therefore miss, in addition to Saturday night’s commitment at home of Dolomiti Energia Trentino, those against Virtus Bologna and Pistoia, as well as the EuroCup games against Bourg-en-Bresse and Valencia. However, he also remains in strong doubt for the next remaining games in October, in the league against Scafati and in Europe against Hamburg and Cluj-Napoca.

Parks has just started his third season in the Reyer jersey: coming out of North Carolina Central University, he played in Trieste, Bonn, Capo d'Orlando, Treviso and Napoli. With GeVi, he won the 2021 LNP Italian Cup, beating Udinese Basketball 80-69 in the Rimini final, putting up 10 points and 5 rebounds.
