Quote:ARG/RUS – Argentina’s Delfino on the mend

View video interview



BUENOS AIRES (Olympics) – BC Khimki’s Argentina guard Carlos Delfino will be sidelined for at least two more weeks as he continues his recovery from a broken finger.



The 6ft 6in shooting guard had a magnificent Olympics with the South Americans, averaging 14.1 points and 5.1 rebounds to help them capture a bronze medal, but while preparing for the new season with the Russian club he got hurt.



"The doctors have told me I will be able to return to play in a couple of weeks after fracturing a finger in my left hand,” he said on Argentina’s Basketball Federation website.



Delfino played in Italy with Fortitudo Bologna and joined the Detroit Pistons after the 2004 Olympics, going on to spend four years in the NBA.



He had his best season in North America last year with Toronto, averaging 23.5 minutes per game, but Delfino turned down a chance to remain with the Raptors after receiving a lucrative offer from Khimki.



"To have returned to European basketball was no surprise because I have played in the past there,” he said.



“I know the style of the game and what the European fans want.



"The expectations at Khimki are very high with the club executives having acquired several international stars like (Russia’s Vitaly) Fridzon and (Spain’s Jorge) Garbajosa.



"I am already in Moscow and it´s an enigmatic city. The language is a very important barrier but fortunately, I speak English and almost all my teammates and team managers also speak the language.



"I have a private chauffer named Alex, and he speaks good English. He is my great guide to the city and I´m in his hands!"
