Nick DeWitz gave the Osaka Evessa his best single-game performance of the season in a one-point loss to the Tokyo Apache on Nov. 20.
But now the three-time defending champions must wait a while for him to attempt to replicate that performance. DeWitz is sidelined with a right leg injury and is expected to be out of action for three weeks, according to a statement released by the club.
The 200-cm forward suffered the injury in the series finale against Tokyo. It appeared he picked up the injury after crashing to the floor following his reverse jam in the fourth quarter. DeWitz was helped off the court with 4:17 remaining but was back on the court for the final minutes.
