The veteran guard has played in all Fenerbahce games in the EuroLeague this season. He has also started in 21 of the 22 games he has appeared. Pierria Henry is averaging 7.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals.
This is another obstacle Fenerbahce needs to overcome this season. Aside from Henry, Nando De Colo and Jan Vesely are also out.
Yet, the EuroLeague powerhouse has been unstoppable. They are on a five-game winning streak and have won nine of their last 10. As a result, they are eighth in the standings, at 12-10.
Henry will be out in the Turkish Cup Final on Sunday. He will also miss at least four EuroLeague games during his absence. More specifically, Fenerbahce will face Monaco (25/2) and Crvena Zvezda (27/2) until the end of February.
They will then clash with Anadolu Efes (3/3) and CSKA Moscow (10/3). Pierria Henry could return vs Bayern Munich on March 15.
