ASVEL requested the suspension after several team members tested positive for COVID-19, which leaves it without the minimum eight players on the Authorization List fit to play.

Yesterday the French powerhouse announced 8 COVID cases in the club, on top of that, ASVEL are dealing with Charles Kahudi, Victor Wembanyama, Raymar Morgan, and David Lighty's health problems.

Following the Special Regulations due to COVID-19, approved by the ECA Shareholders Executive Board, each game can be rescheduled up to three times, if there are available dates.

EuroLeague Basketball will coordinate with both teams the best options to reschedule the game. Alternative dates will be announced on official EuroLeague Basketball platforms.

EuroLeague also postponed three other games this week: Fenerbache Beko Istanbul v Real Madrid, AX Armani Exchange Milan v ALBA Berlin, and Olympiacos Piraeus v CSKA Moscow.
