The frontcourt injury problems of Euroleague runner-up CSKA Moscow will continue into the last month of 2009 as two more of the team's big men, Dmitry Sokolov and Andrey Vorontsevich, will be sidelined for at least one game. For starting center Sokolov, the news is worse, as he suffered torn ankle ligaments in a domestic game and will miss an estimated three weeks of action.

Caja Laboral has announced that one of its major off-season signigns, forward Brad Oleson, will miss more time in order to rest an injury that has been bothering him all season. Oleson, 26, joined the team over the summer with a pre-existing ankle injury, but has yet to play on it without pain. He missed the first game of the season due to the injury, and therefore made his debut in Week 2.
