Shengelia was sidelined with an ankle injury while Ojeleye was battling an illness. According to multiple Italian outlets, both Virtus forwards are expected to play against Olympiacos Piraeus on Friday.

Even though both players will most likely suit up against the Greek team later this week, neither Shengelia nor Ojeleye played against Openjobmetis Varese in the Italian Lega Basket on Sunday.

After recovering from an elbow injury he suffered during EuroBasket 2022, Shengelia has managed to play just two EuroLeague games so far, averaging 9.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists for 7 PIR.

Ojeleye, on the other hand, is playing his first year in Europe after a stint in the NBA and averages 10 points and 4.2 rebounds for 10.7 PIR.
