The Basques currently have 11 wins, two more than Red Star.

However, the Spanish side will come to Serbia without Chris Chiozza. As the club announced, the injury occurred during the visit to Manresa, when the American guard twisted his right knee to the side, in an action that damaged his lateral ligament.

He will spend the next period in rehabilitation and recovery, but it was not revealed how long he could be out.

Chiozza averages 12 minutes on the floor, whilst producing 2.0 points, 3.2 assists and 1.1 rebounds per contest.
