The team coached by Ettore Messina will be without long-term injured players Dinos Mitoglou and Shavon Shields, but also the newcomer Trey Kell won't be available because when the game was originally scheduled he wasn't yet a player of the team.

Malcolm Delaney presented the game, saying that it's gonna be a tough match for the Italian side.

"Alba Berlin are a tough team to face," Delaney said. "If we let them play with too much confidence, it's gonna be difficult to beat them. We have to focus on ourselves, staying solid and competitive."

Coach Ettore Messina knows very well that Alba have already won against his team, so this time they don't need to make the same mistakes.

"They beat us just a few weeks ago in Berlin", Messina said. "They're an athletic team and they play very well even without the ball. For us it'll be crucial to limit the number of mistakes and secure the rebounds".
