Ben Bentil is likely to appear in Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade game against FC Bayern Munich tonight (at 19:00 CET), despite the non-COVID illness.

According to BasketNews sources, Bentil has had a cold but if he stays as good as he is now, Zvezda's big man will be on the team tonight.

Bentil is now in the Aleksandar Nikolic Hall with the rest of the team, waiting for the shooting practice.

Some reports in Serbia were claiming that Bentil tested positive for COVID-19, but it's not the case.

The 27-year-old Ghanaian had an excellent start to the 2022-23 season at Red Star.

He is averaging 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 14.3 PIR in four EuroLeague matches this campaign.

Meanwhile, Crvena Zvezda, like their upcoming opponents Bayern, remain winless in the top European league.
