Initially, the 33-year-old guard tried to continue playing, but quickly asked to be substituted and then went to the locker room. He did not return to the game in the second half.
According to Mundo Deportivo, he suffered an ankle injury, and on Monday he will undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury and whether or not he will have to be sidelined, as well as for how long.

Since the beginning of the season, Barcelona has struggled to get its full roster together, as someone is always missing from the team due to injury.
Dario Brizuela has missed several matches due to injury, while Umoja Gibson has been sidelined for some time now, much like Juan Nunez.
Yoan Makoundou has been injured since the very beginning of the season, and Aleksander Sekulic has not yet been able to count on him.
