Paulius Jankunas set to undergo meniscus surgery 16
Zalgiris captain Paulius Jankunas will be forced to the sidelines for the foreseeable future, as he will undergo meniscus surgery in the Gijos Klinikos on Thursday.
According to Zalgiris doctor Vytautas Kailius, Jankunas felt a pain in his knee. A closer look by Zalgiris doctors suggested a tear in his meniscus, with the diagnosis later being confirmed by a thorough examination by traumatologist Rimtautas Gudas and magnetic resonance imaging.
Rehabilitation and physiotherapy will begin immediately, just a couple days after the surgery. It is expected that Jankunas will be back on the court in 4-5 weeks.
