When asked about the center after the game, head coach Zeljko Obradovic provided an explanation.

"We had problems in the preparation for the derby. Lessort hasn't practiced since Madrid (Thursday, November 24th), he had an elbow injury. He tried to warm himself up and was in great pain. Physiotherapists tried to help him. He played as much as he played," the legendary specialist told in the press conference.

"[Alen] Smailagic asked to play on his own responsibility, even though he was told he had to rest for six weeks. [Vladimir] Brodziansky is new, he needs time for everything. That's why we had a lot of problems in the frontcourt," Obradovic explained.

Another match is right around the corner for Partizan as the Serbian club welcomes Valencia Basket in the EuroLeague on Thursday.
