Painful. Literally

Maybe the preseason loss is not a big thing but to lose one more player to injury is painful. Bo McCalebb killed CSKA in the end by his baskets and his hit to Victor Khryapa’s knee. Hopefully, the captain will be back soon.

Fenerbahce Ulker vs. CSKA: 70-65 (-5)

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

We are playing short currently, but that can’t be used as an excuse. We had good start despite our big men foul trouble and big minutes of young Gudumak. We played excellent third quarter but in the last one we acted carelessly, not smart, bad on defense, made a number of turnovers. We have to quickly learn how to play physical and smart.
