Two losses in Moscow put our team on the edge of elimination from the VTB League playoffs. To continue to fight for the title the Army Men need three wins in a row. The battle continues in Krasnodar.
The situation for CSKA is worsened with the loss of two key players. Aaron Jackson damaged MCL in his right knee in the semifinal game of Euroleague and will not play this season. Still the guard went on tour to support his teammates. Vladimir Micov, vice versa, stayed in Moscow with virus infection. The forward will be examined in the GMS Clinic.
“It’s a very difficult game in very difficult situation,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “We have to find energy, first of all mental energy, and cohesion to live up to the challenge.”
