The EuroLeague has contacted BasketNews with the following statement:

The issue has not been solved, so the measure imposed by the independent Finance Panel on Crvena Zvezda that forbids the club from registering players and coaches is still applicable. We expect further news by early next week at the latest.

With Luca Vildoza sidelined for approximately a month due to a hamstring injury, the Serbian club hopes to register Facundo Campazzo in time for the match against Valencia Basket on Friday.

In his first match for the club in the ABA League, Campazzo finished the match with 11 points (1/1 2PT, 2/5 3PT, 3/3 FT), 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 3 drawn fouls for 18 PIR in just 18 minutes.
