The current leaders of the EuroLeague played 15 games in five weeks, resulting in multiple injuries to his players.

"It has been a crazy month," he told Mundo Deportivo. "This cannot happen anymore, it is unacceptable. We have seen many teams with many injuries and problems with muscles. We're killing the players. It's too much."

Last week, the team announced that Rokas Jokubaitis is out of the rotation due to a sprained shoulder. He joined Brandon Davies, Cory Higgins, and Pierre Oriola as players who will not suit up for tomorrow's Olympiacos game.

However, Sertac Sanli, who missed six games due to back soreness, will likely make a comeback after training this Thursday with his teammates: "It will depend on how he feels tomorrow, but if everything goes well, he will play a few minutes."

Talking about the upcoming game against Olympiacos, Jasikevicius admitted that the team wouldn't "go crazy for the result" and will "continue to improve in general," as well as perfect "the form of some players."
