Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>REG BBC star man Adonis Filer is running against the clock to be fit in time to play the much-anticipated 2023 Basketball Africa League playoffs which will take place at BK Arena from May 20-27.<\/p>\n

The American-Rwandan appeared to be in pain after he suffered an injury scare on his foot during a team training session on Monday, May 8 at BK Arena.<\/p>\n

Filer later took to Instagram to share updates on the extent of his injury in a way that suggested that his chances of playing at the BAL were limited.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs hard as I work on my craft, the most frustrating thing in the world is getting injured. It\u2019s like everything is just gone to waste. You work and work and work and then something uncontrollable happens,\u201d the point guard said in a post.<\/p>\n

\u201cMentally, that is the toughest thing… I hate missing workouts, practice games, or anything! Makes me feel like a horrible teammate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the sun’s gonna shine the next morning and the lord will heal my body, complaining won\u2019t do anything. Gotta lock in and get back right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

However, club coach Dean Murray told Times Sport that Filer\u2019s foot injury is not serious as earlier feared and thus he will be out for about five days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdonis is fine, just a foot injury…out a few days and nothing serious,\u201d Murray said in an interview.<\/p>\n

The American coach went on to say that there is no doubt his key player will be available for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Last year, Filer suffered an injury that limited his playing time in the quarterfinal playoffs. It affected REG who went to suffer a shock quarter final elimination by Cameroon\u2019s FAP.<\/p>\n

REG will face Egyptian giants Al Ahly in the playoffs of the BAL that will take place in Kigali from May 20-27.<\/p>\n

Four Nile Conference teams Petro de Luanda, Al Ahly, Cape Town Tigers and Ferroviario da Beira last week booked their tickets to the BAL playoffs, joining Sahara Conference counterparts REG, Mali\u2019s Stade Malien, Cote d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s ABC Fighters, and Senegal\u2019s AS Douanes.<\/p>\n

Besides the REG-Al Ahly matchup, Nile Conference champions Petro de Luanda will face Co\u0302te d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s ABC Fighters while Sahara Conference champions will take on Cape Town Tigers as AS Douanes awaits a test against CF Beira.<\/p>\n

Tunisia\u2019s US Monastir are the BAL reigning champions despite failing to make it to the 2023 BAL playoffs after finishing fifth in the Sahara Conference.<\/p>\n
