    ANKARA (2010 FIBA World Championship) – Puerto Rico star Carlos Arroyo will not play against Greece on Sunday in Ankara after suffering an injury on Saturday.

    Arroyo took a knee from Andrey Vorontsevich in the second half of Puerto Rico’s 75-66 defeat against Russia. His status is day-to-day.

    “Carlos is really hurt. He has a contusion in his quadriceps, very close to his left hip,” said Puerto Rico head coach Manolo Cintron.

    “He is undergoing physical treatment and taking medication to make the swelling go down.”

    The Puerto Rican team did not practice on Sunday ahead of their game against Greece.

    Angel Vassallo will fill in for Arroyo in the starting five.
