Following their epic victory against Anadolu Efes in the EuroLeague, Joan Penarroya's men continue to hunt down co-leaders Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, who also did not fail in their outings away from home.

Vanja Marinkovic set the pace with 25 points for the winning side. However, not everything went well for Baskonia in that game.

After only two minutes played, Markus Howard had to leave the court with an ankle sprain in a successful effort for a layup by Jordan Davis.

The former NBA player didn't return to finish the game, and he will undergo medical tests that will determine the time of his absence.

Baskonia are playing guests to EuroLeague bottom-placed side Olimpia Milano next Tuesday and are subsequently (Friday) hosting Panathinaikos Athens in Vitoria.
