A Baskonia full of injuries will seek to break its bad streak in the Euroleague against the Olympiakos on Thursday from 20:15. The Vitorians, who have lost their last six Euroleague matches, will visit one of the most difficult courts on the continent, where the Greeks have lost only two games in all competitions, against Panathinaikos and Valencia Basket .
The last player to join the Kosner Baskonia infirmary has been Markus Howard , due to a muscle problem that will take him away from the track for two or three weeks. Rodion Kurucs, Tadas Sedekerskis, Khalifa Diop and Jesé Edward will not be able to play the European game because there is no deadline to register for the tournament in the case of Jesé Edward.
Tim Luwawu-Cabarrot travels with the Vitorian team, but remains hesitant for the match against the Greek giant, the French player has lost the last two games, and Paolo Galbiati will not know if the player will be ready until the last hour.
For their part, Georgios Bartzokas's team will not be able to count on Keenan Evens and Moustapha Fall . However, the Greeks are in second place in the ranking and come to the match with additional motivation, as they defeated the Fenerbahce , the leader of the Euroleague, in which Evan Fournien was the most prominent player.
Kosner Baskonia will have to improve in defense if he wants to win, as he remains the top scoring team in the Euroleague and will face the second most scoring team in the tournament.
