Dozen seasons passed from the moment Alba played in Moscow previously. The German club is one of the Euroleague outsiders now but it is still very dangerous.
“This is a crucial game for us and it will be difficult because we continue to play without Victor Khryapa”, CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “We should forget about the win in Berlin because the memories can mislead us. We have to play focused and solid to try to win it.”
Khryapa remains the only player in CSKA's injured list. He continues to practice individually. The roster for the game will be named after morning shootaround.
