Bayern were scheduled to play against CSKA today at 20:00 EEST. However, the match has been postponed.

In addition, the games between Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz and UNICS Kazan, as well as the contest between FC Barcelona and Zenit St. Petersburg were suspended.

Baskonia were scheduled to take on UNICS in Vitoria today at 21:30 EEST. Barcelona were scheduled to play Zenit in St. Petersburg tomorrow at 19:00 EEST.

Furthermore, Zalgiris Kaunas came out with a statement, saying that they will not play against CSKA or Zenit St. Petersburg in Russia.

Zalgiris GM Paulius Motiejunas also encourages other EuroLeague teams to follow suit and boycott all basketball games against Russian teams.

"Zalgiris will not go to Russia, where double matches of the season were supposed to be played. We will talk to the Western European clubs competing in the EuroLeague and offer to make a joint decision not only to not play the matches but also to boycott the games with all Russian teams."
