Marko Todorovic and Milos Teodosic have chance to play Eurobasket

Montenegro forward/center Marko Todorovic has categorically refuted rumours that he will miss EuroBasket 2013 due to injury; Serbia's doctor is satisfied with the rehabilitation of star point guard Milos Teodosic.

Marko Todorovic had an operation in his right hand at the end of the club season and is still undergoing rehabilitation, a situation that prompted rumours of him dropping out of the Montenegro squad ahead of EuroBasket 2013.

"I saw rumours circulating on the media that I would not play at EuroBasket in Slovenia," the 21-year-old big man said in an interview with pobjeda.me

"However, I have no idea how this began, it's just not true.

"I am currently in Belgrade undergoing therapy and if all goes well, in about ten days I will re-join the team in Zlatibor (where Montenegro's training camp takes place).

Meanwhile doctor Dragan Radovanović, who is the head of medical services at the Serbian Basketball Federation, has showed contained optimism regarding the state of health of Milos Teodosic.

"At this stage of [Teodosic's] rehabilitation, he is exercising at the level that we have planned and expected," the doctor said.

"We do not want to overload him though.

"Our exams show that his muscle is filling and it's healing, but we cannot accelerate time.

The doctor refrained from making a clear prediction on whether Teodosic will be ready in time for September's EuroBasket, but hinted that this would be possible thanks to Serbia's experience with similar situations in the past.

"The national team offers players a chance to play, but also to heal from their injuries," Radovanović said.
