ImageWalter Herrmann will not avoid surgery after all, adding another problem to Caja Laboral's Head Coach, Dusko Ivanovic as Marcelinho Huertas, Brad Oleson and Lior Eliyahu are also sidelined.

30-year old Herrmann is having a problem in his left knee and will have to undergo surgery with the estimated recovery time being about two months. That means that he will miss both the ACB and Euroleague premieres.
