Metu injured his knee badly in the Barcelona match

Very bad news for Barcelona and Chimezie Metu, who suffered a – probably serious – knee injury early in the 2nd period of the Liga Endesa Matchday 8 match against Valencia.

The tall Nigerian fell to the floor in agony, freezing all over at the Palau Blaugrana and will undergo tests to see what exactly is wrong with him.

For the record, Joan Peñaroja’s team celebrated a 102-99 victory. Kevin Pader and Jabari Parker led the way with 24 and 18 points respectively, while Jan Vesely scored a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. On the losing side, Semi Ojeleje had 19 points and Chris Jones had 16.
