Baskonia loses Lamont Hamilton for a month

After starting the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Regular Season without him, Laboral Kutxa Vitoria may miss center Lamont Hamilton for what's left of it, too, due to a foot injury. After he was hurt in practice on Monday, tests determined that Hamilton, 30, had torn the flexor muscle in his left big toe and will be out of action up for approximately one month. Hamilton was averaging 4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 15 minutes per game this season after returning in Round 2 from a previous injury. Hamilton debuted in the Euroleague for Laboral last season and missed 12 of the team's 24 games, but was effective when healthy, averaging 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in just 19 minutes per game. Previously, Hamilton was named to the All-Eurocup team in the 2012-13 season while helping Bilbao Basket reach that competition's championship game.
