Fenerbahce, Roko Ukic out one month

Fenerbahce Ulker will start the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16 without one of its most important players, as playmaker Roko Ukic will be sidelined for a month due to a broken finger, the club announced Friday. Ukic broke the middle finger in his right hand in practice and therefore will miss at least Fener's two opening Top 16 games - on the road against Unics and at home against EA7 Emporio Armani Milano. Ukic is averaging 9.7 points on 24-of-28 free throws and 2.1 assists in 10 Euroleague games so far this season. Ukic and James Gist have been the only FB Ulker players who have started every Euroleague game until now.
