Dramatic sitting (CSKA Moscow official website)
The war in Ukraine puts the Euroleague in a particularly problematic position. At this time, a crucial meeting is being held on the future of the factory, during which the Russian teams participating in the Euroleague – Zenit St. Petersburg, CSKA Moscow and Onyx Kazan – asked not to play in the coming month.
As is well known, Russia has invaded Ukraine in a move that also affects sports and does not miss European basketball as well. Earlier Zenit allowed its foreign players to return to their countries and also the foreign players of CSKA and Kazan on their way out of Russia, which put the Euroleague in a difficult situation, certainly when it comes to teams that are strong in the picture of promotion to the top 8.
Zenit, CSKA and Kazan are currently in 5th, 6th and 8th places in the Euroleague, so the factory leaders have to make a difficult decision whose identity is still unclear. In any case, Maccabi Tel Aviv is following the matter and waiting to find out what decision will be made.
After 24 games and before the meeting with Basconia, the Yellows are ranked 12th with a balance of 13:11, as already this coming Thursday they are supposed to host Zenit in the hall. By the way, in its games against the Russian teams this season, Maccabi lost 73:71 to Zenit, lost (74:73) and defeated (75:84) CSKA and defeated Kazan 74:85.
