Kleiza down with swine flu

2009-12-05 21:53

Linas Kleiza, Olympiacos' undisputed MVP so far in the season was diagnosed with H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu.

Kleiza has already started treatment but it is unknown whether he will be able to play against Unicaja Malaga next Thursday. The Lithuanian star is the fifth Olympiacos player struck with swine flue after Sofocles Schortsianitis, Teo Papaloukas, Costas Papanikolaou and Josh Childress.

Kleiza is leading Olympiacos is scoring in Euroleague with 18.3 point per game in six games, including the 19 points in the last quarter of Orleans-Olympiacos some days ago.

Josh Childress is currently away in the US due to his father's death but he will probably make it to the squad for the game against Unicaja.
