Anadolu Efes will have to play without its star guard for at least two weeks as Vasilije Micic will be sidelined with a muscle injury, per Eurohoops.net.
Micic was on a great run with the Efes the last week being instrumental in the Turkish team big win vs Real Madrid with 29 points. The Serbian guard had another great performance in the loss to Milan on Thursday registering 27 points.

He has been averaging 18.1 points for the season while adding 4.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per contest. The reigning Euroleague MVP has scored 20 or more points in seven straight games in the competition
Efes needs one more win to secure its playoff ticket as they sit in the fifth spot currently with a 14-11 record. If the Turks remain in the 5th seed they will face either Olympiacos or Olimpia Milano.
Shane Larkin will need to shoulder most of the scoring burden with Micic out. Larkin is averaging 14.0 points and 5.3 assists shooting 39 percent from deep through 30 games this season
