Alexei Shved, a veteran guard for CSKA Moscow, was involved in an on-street altercation after an away game in the capital. The incident occurred as he left a central Moscow restaurant in the company of his wife and friends. In the minutes after the meal, a dispute with several individuals escalated into a street confrontation. Shved was struck during the incident and fell to the pavement, sustaining injuries including bleeding from the ear. Staff at the restaurant intervened and provided assistance before medical personnel arrived.
Shved was subsequently hospitalized where medical teams evaluated his condition. Reports indicate a skull fracture and memory impairment, although further medical assessments were ongoing to determine the full extent of his injuries and prognosis.
The confrontation followed CSKA Moscow’s recent game in the VTB United League. In the seventh game of the 1/2 finals, CSKA fell to Lokomotiv in overtime by a score of 100:103. The result left Lokomotiv to face the winner of the UNICS-Zenit pairing in the final round of the league.
In the broader context of the league, CSKA’s season has featured a mix of tightly fought matches and notable comebacks, with Shved contributing as one of the team’s key players. Medical personnel who evaluated the player provided initial diagnoses that included a skull fracture and memory loss, and the club officials have said they will cooperate fully with any investigative process and medical follow-up required to support Shved during his recovery.
