Our team returns to the basketball court with almost no break. This time it will face Bisons in VTB League.

“Bisons have more strength this year while keeping the same coach and game philosophy,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “They have creators and athleticism. We played two good away games, overall it will be our third game in five days with three trips so our goal will be to use the energy of all our players and remain focused all game.”

The Army Men will miss Victor Khryapa (broken wrist), Aaron Jackson (broken face bones) and Anton Astapkovich (sprained ankle).
