Perspectives to finish first in the group are hidden by the fog for our team. So in Tel Aviv the Army Men will think about strategic tasks.

“I think the first three places in our group are set already so both teams will be more focused on their preparations to playoffs series,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “With Milos Teodosic out it will be important for us to boost confidence of Aaron Jackson and Jeremy Pargo, to let them direct the team and play big roles. We have to found balance in our game, to work on offense and defense to be ready to face challenging competition in the quarterfinals.”

Teodosic is the only injured player. Milos joined the team in Tel Aviv where he was tested and where he started the initial rehabilitation period after right calf tendon damage.
