Via Os Davis of Ball In Europe, Jonas Jerebko injured his ankle playing for Sweden in a win over Luxembourg on Tuesday:

"The Detroit Piston was injured in Tuesday’s win against Luxembourg; while the injury is not deemed serious (he certainly won’t miss any NBA games), it comes nevertheless at a seriously bad time for the Swedes. Currently at 2-2, Team Sweden is statistically tied with Azerbaijan and Bulgaria for second place in Group B with four games to play. The top two to three teams from the group will advance to the next round."

Jerebko is reportedly a game-time decision for Sweden’s game Thursday against Bulgaria.
