Sergio Llull’s ACL injury during Spain’s Eurobasket preparation game against Belgium has brought the international basketball community together as they send their wishes to the Real Madrid star.
Llull has been ruled out of Eurobasket and is set to miss the entire EuroLeague and Liga Endesa season with Real Madrid.
Spain coach Sergio Scariolo tweeted a simple picture of Llull in action. Something that unfortunately Spain fans will not see at Eurobasket

Barcelona guard Tyrese Rice has played in a few el’ Clasico battles with Llull and Real Madrid.
I don't care if he plays for Real Madrid. That's good dude that I have HUGE respect for and I would never want to see him go down.
