Africa-Press – Rwanda. APR star Osborn Shema on Saturday, May 3, flew to Qatar for surgery days after suffering a lengthy injury which will side-line him for a number of months.
The 27-year-old tore his ACL during APR’s 94-92 win over United Generation Basketball (UGB) in the 2025 basketball GMT final on April 27 and is expected to be out of action between six and nine months.
He will be treated at Aspetar, a top orthopaedic and sports hospital based in Doha. The hospital previously treated some sports stars including the likes of Brazilian forward Neymar da Silva Santos Junior in 2023.
Shema has established himself as a key player for APR and the national team. His injury was a big blow for APR who will miss his services during their Basketball Africa League (BAL) 2025 campaign which begins with the Nile Conference due in Kigali from May 17-25.
Shema’s teammate, Nobel Boungou Colo, also had a successful surgery on his Achilles’ tendon at Clinique Jouvenet – Ramsay Santé in France-courtesy
