Arroyo took a knee from Andrey Vorontsevich in the second half of Puerto Rico’s 75-66 defeat against Russia. His status is day-to-day.

“Carlos is really hurt. He has a contusion in his quadriceps, very close to his left hip,” said Puerto Rico head coach Manolo Cintron.

“He is undergoing physical treatment and taking medication to make the swelling go down.”
