The PBL game against UNICS which is very important for the team mentally will be played without several key players again.
“We are coming off bad home loss so the game will be extremely important for us,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “Even though we will be without Sonny Weems and Victor Khryapa is doubtful for the game I am sure we can show the level of the game which will help us win.”
Both starting forward got bruises on the muscles. Weems injured his left hip during Zalgiris game; Khryapa got hit into right shin during practice on Tuesday. Weems will be given rest and the decision on Khryapa will be taken in the morning. Vorontsevich stays on injured reserve as well.
UNICS preparation was not usual also. The team could not return to Kazan after the game in Tallinn because of heavy snow in Moscow and stayed in the capitol having two practicing days in USH CSKA.
