The Italian side have recovered Kaleb Tarczewski but will make the trip to France without veteran Gigi Datome, who's dealing with a left calf injury.

Coach Ettore Messina introduced the game, explaining how delicate the match against Monaco will be for his team.

"We come from four losses in a row so this match is clearly very important and delicate for us", coach Messina said. "Monaco is very good in playing one on one situations and they crash the offensive board constantly. Motiejunas, who played a great game against ASVEL, is another problem that we have to solve", coach Messina continued.

"We need to take care of our things and be inspired by what we've done in the game against Brindisi", coach Messina concluded.

Devon Hall, one of the most important players in this season's team, added that the intensity will be a key in the game against Monaco: "We need to play 40 minutes of very high-intensity defense, taking care of the details and play together every single possession".

The biggest ex of the game, Mike James, won't be available for Monaco due to a small injury.
