Monaco basketball player Nikola Mirotic avoided the worst-case scenario when it comes to a foot injury, so surgery will not be required and he is expected to return to the court in the final part of the Euroleague regular season.

The Podgorica native has a problem with plantar fasciitis, which has caused him to miss several matches, but according to the club's estimates, his recovery is going in the right direction.

General manager Oleksij Yefimov pointed out that Mirotic could recover from the injury in the next two to three weeks, after which he will need another ten days to get back into a competitive rhythm.

This means that the total absence could last between three and four weeks, with a realistic chance of him playing in the very end of the league season.

Monaco is closely monitoring his recovery, as the team is already facing rotation problems, given that Mike James is also out of action.

The Princes are currently 17-14 and in contention for the playoffs, so Mirotic's return could be crucial in the final stretch of the season.
