The virus knocked Kleiza out of commission for an undetermined amount of time.

Kleiza is Olympiacos’ leading scorer with 18.3 points over the club’s first six games of the season. Kleiza is currently undergoing treatment, but as mentioned, the timetable for his return is uncertain.

The former Denver Nuggest and Lithuanian star is the fifth Olympiacos player that has contracted the H1N1 virus – Josh Childress, Theo Papaloukas, Costas Papanikolaou and Sofokils Schortsianitis have also had the Swine Flu at various times this season.
