Kostas Kostadinov Faces Indefinite Absence Due to Ankle Sprain

MoraBanc Andorra forward Kostas Kostadinov faces an indefinite absence after medical tests confirmed a right ankle sprain sustained during last week's training session.

The Bulgarian wing could not complete the final practice under coach Žan Tabak after twisting his foot, forcing him to halt activities and focus on recovery. He will remain in Andorra for treatment, aiming to return to training as soon as possible, though the club has provided no specific timeline as the injury's progress remains under review.

The sprain rules Kostadinov out of Bulgaria's international commitments in the EuroBasket 2029 qualifiers, including tomorrow's match against Norway in Honefoss and Monday's fixture against Armenia in Yerevan at 5:15 p.m. Other MoraBanc players—Rafa Luz, Aaron Best, Yves Pons, and Artem Pustovyi—have joined their national teams.

Kostadinov had begun carving out a role in the team's rotation since arriving in mid-December to bolster the perimeter with athleticism and energy. Over nine Liga Endesa appearances, he scored 37 points at 4.1 per game in 129 total minutes (16.1 per outing), grabbed 18 rebounds, and dished two assists. His career-highs with the club came in 10-point outings against Real Madrid and Valencia Basket, where his defensive intensity proved valuable off the bench.

The club now focuses on ensuring his complete recovery to maintain that momentum heading into the season's critical stretch.
