EuroLeague: Real Madrid Without Tavares for Rest of Season, Len Likely to Miss Final Four
may 12 2026Serious problems for Real Madrid at the most critical moment of the season. The Madrid club will face the end of the campaign with major difficulties in the paint after injuries to Edy Tavares and Alex Len are confirmed, two absences that drastically reduce the interior options for Sergio Scariolo's team.
The worst news concerns Tavares. The Cape Verdean center had been dealing with knee discomfort following the series against Hapoel Tel Aviv, and tests have confirmed a more negative scenario than expected. The Madrid big man will not play again this season, leaving the team without its primary defensive anchor and one of the most impactful players in the entire EuroLeague.
There is no good news with Alex Len either. The Ukrainian suffered discomfort in his left foot during last weekend's game, and the diagnosis points to a plantar fascia issue. Recovery timelines practically rule out the player from the Final Four in Athens, as this type of injury typically requires several weeks of treatment and rest before a return can be evaluated.
