Zeng Fanbo to Miss Remaining Season Due to Lumbar Fracture

On April 30th, the CBA Beijing Shougang Club officially released an announcement stating that Zeng Fanbo had completed his examination at Jishuitan Hospital. It was confirmed that he had a lumbar transverse process fracture, which did not require surgery. The recovery period is 2 - 3 months, and he will miss the remaining games of the season. The official announcement is as follows:

Since last night's game, Fanbo's injury has tugged at the hearts of people from all walks of life and numerous fans. This afternoon, after a multi - disciplinary consultation at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, it was found that Fanbo had a fracture of the left transverse process of the lumbar vertebra. This condition does not require surgery but needs at least 2 - 3 months of rest and recovery. Therefore, despite our deep pain and reluctance, we can only regretfully inform everyone that Fanbo will miss all the remaining games of this season.

After getting injured in last night's game, the team immediately sent Fanbo to a local hospital in Taiyuan for a preliminary diagnosis. Meanwhile, the Shougang Group and the Beijing Shougang Basketball Club quickly allocated resources and contacted Jishuitan Hospital last night to prepare for Fanbo's transfer. This afternoon, after Fanbo arrived in Beijing, he was immediately sent to Jishuitan Hospital by ambulance for an expert consultation. Directors and experts from the departments of neurosurgery, sports medicine, and spinal surgery all participated in the consultation. After the examination and evaluation, it was determined that Fanbo's lumbar transverse process fracture does not require surgical treatment but needs 2 - 3 months of rest for recovery. After a good recovery, it should not have an impact on his future career. In addition, no problems were found in other physical examinations for now.

Thank you all for your concern about Fanbo and the team! The occurrence of injuries is something that no one wants to see. What we need to do now is to prove ourselves on the court, focus on the games, and continue to show our "Beijing spirit" in the following battles! The fight continues, and the struggle never ends!

We wish Fanbo a speedy recovery and a full - blooded return! May all players stay away from injuries and play basketball healthily! See you on the court!
