Although no injury has been confirmed, the club has decided that Bell-Haynes should stop training with the rest of the squad as a precaution and to avoid a possible more serious setback. As a result, Guillem Vives and Sergi García will be the available point guards in the Aragonese squad for the game in Barcelona against Barça.
"The progress of this discomfort has been monitored and treated by the Club's Medical Services. Although his condition is not a particular cause for concern, with the aim of promoting the best possible recovery and minimizing any risk of complications, he will follow a specific recovery plan over the coming days," Casademont explained in the medical report on the Canadian point guard.
As a result, the clinical progress of the calf discomfort will determine the timetable for Trae Bell-Haynes's full return to the team's regular routine. It remains to be seen whether that return will come next week, allowing the Canadian point guard to feature in the next game against Girona at the Príncipe Felipe.
HIS START TO THE SEASON
Despite playing through discomfort, the Canadian point guard has started the new season at a high level. Bell-Haynes is the club's second-leading scorer with 13.5 points per game, behind only Justin Jaworski, and the third-highest-rated player with an average of 13.2, surpassed by the American shooting guard and Laurynas Birutis, who tops that ranking.
In addition, one of the club's captains has made an impressive start from three-point range. The Canadian is the third player in the entire ACB with the best three-point percentage (64.3%), having made nine of the 14 attempts he has taken in the first four rounds of the domestic competition.
