Nenad Dimitrijevic finishes the match for Aris after being hit; Aris beat Red Star 98–74
The Macedonian international was hit in the third quarter, returned in the fourth and ended the friendly as Aris’ main playmaker.
Nenad Dimitrijevic suffered a heavy blow during Aris' friendly against Red Star Belgrade but there is no cause for alarm: he returned in the fourth quarter and finished the game as a key playmaker.
The contact occurred in the third quarter and briefly looked like it might be more serious. Medical checks and team staff reports indicated the impact passed without complications and Dimitrijevic was cleared to continue.
Dimitrijevic came back in the last quarter and completed his appearance, serving as Aris' primary facilitator. He finished the match with at least 10 assists and four points.
Aris dominated and the Macedonian international remains in form
Aris closed out the friendly with a 98–74 victory over Red Star Belgrade. The club highlighted the result while the player’s quick recovery drew relief from teammates and supporters.
Dimitrijevic’s performance reinforced the impression that he is in peak condition — a form already on display when he produced a triple-double in Vienna against Austria and “wrote history” for his national team.
