Eric Boateng Out 4-6 Months With Foot Injury

By Sam Neter on January 20, 2012

Great Britain big man Eric Boateng is out 4-6 months after being diagnosed with a thrombosis in his foot.

The injury could put Boateng’s chance of representing GB at the Olympics at risk, and has ended his season with Peristeri in Greece early.

Talking to TalkBasket.net, who first reported the injury, the 6’11” centre said:

“It is still early days for me so I am trying to figure out the full scope of things as well as understanding what I am physically able to do.

“The aim is returning to health as soon as possible but it is also an issue of listening to my body, as well as staying in close contact with the medical staff and doctors of the GB basketball team.”

GB’s injury woes don’t get any better after Joel Freeland sprained his right ankle at practice last week and has been confirmed out for up to 3 weeks.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
