Eva Longoria's basketball-playing ex-husband Tony Parker is reportedly at risk of missing the Olympic Games due to an injury sustained in the nightclub showdown between Drake's entourage and Chris Brown earlier this month.

Parker, who is suing the W.i.P Club for $20 million, had to have an operation to remove a shard of glass that had "penetrated 99 per cent" of his left eye.

The Frenchman will not be able to see a specialist until he is cleared to take long-haul flights again on July 5.

"I'm seeing a specialist in New York with the hope of being given the all clear to play in the Olympic Games," he said at a press conference. "[San Antonio] Spurs are very worried. Anything can happen, including me being out of the Olympics.

"The decision doesn't belong to me anymore. It's in the hands of the doctor and San Antonio."

He went on to say that he has been suffering hallucinations and has been confined to his hotel room for eight days because of the risk of infection. He also has to apply FIVE different products to his eye every two hours, according to The Guardian.

"Fear sets in," he said of being told surgery was necessary. "An eye is so fragile ... I couldn't believe it. But that's life, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"I didn't have luck, but I came out well from my misfortune. It could have been worse. The rest of my career is not in question. I just have to wait for the injury to heal itself."

Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among the eight people injured in the fight on June 15, which police say began when members of Drake's entourage prevented the 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker from leaving.
