Žalgiris: Williams-Goss injured in win over Crvena Zvezda
Guard Nigel Williams-Goss left Žalgiris's 83-77 EuroLeague win over Crvena Zvezda with a hamstring injury after scoring 14 points and 6 assists.
Žalgiris opened their EuroLeague campaign with an 83-77 win over Crvena Zvezda, but the side may pay for it in the coming weeks. Guard Nigel Williams-Goss did not finish the match, going off with a hamstring injury.
Williams-Goss had 14 points and 6 assists before leaving the floor. The issue surfaced on a drive to the basket late in the game.
"There were some uncomfortable sensations before the match, but not serious enough to sit out. On the last drive to the basket I felt discomfort. We'll see what the diagnosis brings," said Williams-Goss.
Head coach Tomas Masiulis gave a more guarded assessment of the injury.
"It looks worrying. The medical staff will give the full picture, but for now things don't look too good," said Masiulis.
No timeframe for Williams-Goss's return has been given. If the injury proves serious, Žalgiris would open their EuroLeague campaign without one of their key ball-handlers for the games ahead.
