Régis Barroso não vai disputar o Brasileiro de Basquete Master Masculino, marcado para Goiânia entre 30 de outubro e 7 de novembro. O ala do Acre, que jogaria pela Bahia na categoria 50+, rompeu o tendão do quadríceps da perna esquerda num treino de academia.
A ABMAC (Associação de Basquete Master do Acre) informou que ele passará por cirurgia e deve ficar cerca de um ano longe das quadras. O anúncio veio do próprio atleta, nesta quinta-feira (29), nas redes sociais.
"Hoje a vida me colocou diante de um desafio inesperado. Sofri um acidente durante um atendimento, que resultou em uma ruptura no tendão do quadríceps, e tudo indica a necessidade de um reparo cirúrgico", declarou.
Ele também falou do peso de se machucar na reta final da preparação.
"A dor e a tristeza são grandes, pois eu estava me preparando tanto para viver este momento no basquete. Mas sigo firme, com fé em Deus, confiante no processo de recuperação e acreditando que, em breve, estarei de volta às quadras, fazendo aquilo que tanto amo", afirmou.
A publicação trazia a legenda "Sonho interrompido... mas não o fim da jornada" e uma mensagem de otimismo: "É apenas um capítulo difícil na minha história, não o fim dela!".
Sem ele, o Acre leva cinco atletas, cada um em uma equipe: Alberdan Lopes, pivô da Bahia 50+; Marcel Mourão, ala/pivô do Distrito Federal 50+; José Uyeno, o Tetê, armador do Maranhão 70+; Renato Borges, ala de Rondônia 60+; e Erik Lima, armador de São Paulo 30+.
