Only the injured ones stayed in Moscow: Nando De Colo continues his rehab after ankle sprain; Milos Teodosic is still bothered by the neck injury received in Saratov; Joel Freeland’s leg was tested today and the positive dynamic was revealed, the center continues individual workouts; Pavel Korobkov underwent successful left knee surgery.
“We recently played against Bisons in Moscow so we know perfectly that they are a very talented offensive team,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “We played great game against Barcelona at home and we want to continue playing like this. We have respect to our opponent, to the game of basketball and, most importantly, to ourselves, so we will perform seriously in Finland.”
