Dzanan Musa's 'miracle': he continued to play with a broken trachea

• Musa interview "I didn't have a childhood"

The action, cumbersome, occurred already in the final stretch of the game, when the Rio Breogán was heading for another feat in this dream season.

, the best player in the ACB, the young Bosnian who returned from the NBA to a newly promoted man to relaunch his career, collided with the Argentine

.

He was lying on the parquet, made gestures of lack of air, coughed, although the referees did not even notice a foul.

The forward continued to play, even contributing four of the last six points (key) to knock down Baxi Manresa.

He had suffered a broken trachea.

Shortly after the victory, the alarms went off -Bosnian and Croatian media published that he was in an induced coma-, although before that, Musa, who finished with a PIR of 27 -only surpassed by his teammate

complied with his fans: he signed autographs and greeted before leaving the Pazo dos Deportes de Lugo.

The former Nets player underwent emergency surgery "to ensure proper airway function after a blow to the trachea."

He himself announced it on his social networks: «Guys, I love you all.

I am going to have surgery on my neck.

As I fight on the track, I will also fight against this and I will win.

Thank you for your wishes.

Until next time".

Fortunately, the operation, which was performed last morning at the Lucus Augusti University Hospital, was a success.

The Lugo team itself reported that he was "conscious and in good spirits" after the tubes were removed, although he remained in resuscitation, according to the last medical report.

"One of the first things he said is that he wants to be on the track again in a few days defending the light blue jersey. It is a pride to have players of this caliber," the club said.

The player who was dominating the competition, the dapper forward who relaunched his career at the modest Galician club, will have a hard time coming back.

On Sunday, he will not be at the WiZink against Real Madrid, nor will he be at the Pazo next Saturday the 23rd to welcome Zaragoza.

A key moment is lost for Breogán, who is still in his cloud.

After playing in the Cup, he fights for the playoffs: he is tenth with 14 wins and 14 losses.

"Although for the family it is not the most important thing at the moment, the doctors say that (the injury) should not have serious consequences for his career,"

, the player's brother, calmed down on the Bosnian portal Avaz.
