Olimpia Milano crisis: hope is to get Josh Nebo back

L’Olimpia is experiencing a moment of deep crisis. After missing the train for the Euroleague postseason (only the math is missing to certify the’elimination), the red-and-whites have also missed the’chance to grab the league lead, losing on the court of Napoli.

A heavy defeat to digest, also because it came after missteps, in the Euroleague, with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Coach Messina pointed the finger at the players, hoping for a quick reaction in the upcoming games. Also, in the’environment, it is hoped to recover Nebo.

The center, who arrived in the summer, was supposed to be a pivotal man on the red-and-white roster and, instead, has remained mostly in the infirmary (right arm problem, absent, in fact, since December 2024).

In the postgame of the lost challenge with Napoli, Coach Messina took stock of Nebo’s recovery time: “He’s still doing everything without using his right arm. He shoots with his left, he runs and he could do the 800 at the Olympics, because he is in great shape. But unfortunately, his right arm cannot use it yet. The indications are positive, but until the specialist tells us that he can start working with contact… However, he is improving, we hope to have him for the playoffs”, his clear words.
