After painful loss in Istanbul our team got back to Moscow on Friday morning and practiced in the evening before BEKO PBL game against Lokomotiv-Kuban.
Victor Khryapa stays out with dislocated right index finger.
"Surely it is difficult to play on the next day after such a difficult game", - CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. "But we can't complain, moreover, we have to use to it because we will have similar schedule in playoffs. We lost for the third time this season and hopefully we do the right conclusions. At least the team reacted positively after two previous losses. The ame proved once again how valuable is Victor Khryapa for us. We have to play without him so his reserves Vorontsevich and Lavrinovic have to step up to the next level. The PBL game is very important for us so I hope to see the appropriate level of concentration."
