Nando de Colo helped LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne bring down ALBA Berlin on Wednesday. He won't be able to help his team on Friday.

The French veteran will be sidelined against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz with a minor hamstring injury.

The 36-year-old picked up the injury with just over a minute left during the last game. De Colo passed the ball to the cutting John Egbunu when he suddenly grabbed his hamstring. Seconds later, de Colo started going straight to the bench, and the game was stopped.

However, he will miss both the game against Baskonia in the EuroLeague on Friday and the French League (LNB) game against Cholet Basket on Sunday, the club's sporting director, Michel Veyronnet, told Le Progres.

De Colo has been averaging 12.5 points and 2.9 assists for 12.9 PIR in the EuroLeague.
