On the other side, Anadolu Efes bench boss Ergin Ataman missed Sunday's clash against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, and his availability before EuroLeague's double-week remains unclear.

"We still don't know whether he will be on the bench in a couple of games," said assistant coach Yakup Sekizkok, who replaced Ataman on Sunday. "The case is closely monitored, and he might or might not be ready for EuroLeague games."

Ataman was forced to miss the latter game due to anupper respiratory infection.

The CSKA Moscow-Anadolu Efes Istanbul game is scheduled for tomorrow in the Russian capital, starting at 18:00 CET.
