Nizhny in January again

For the second time in a month our team will meet the newcomers of the PBL – BC Nizhny Novgorod. This time the league’s outsider will try its luck in Moscow.

CSKA now stands at 11 players in active roster. Alexander Kaun and Victor Khryapa continue their rehabilitations. At the same time junior team players Denis Polokhin and Alexander Gudumak are practicing with the team – most probably, Gudumak will take the vacant place in the dozen.

“We played in Nizhny Novgorod recently, but the opponents had some serious roster changes since then, - CSKA interim coach Dmitry Shakulin said. The game is very important for us because we do not have Euroleague games. We prepare attentively, we use the time as much as we can. Any game influence the standings, any team has additional motivation against CSKA.”
