The Greek tactician confirmed that Mike Tobey will remain on the team despite the rumors. Meanwhile, Ognjen Kuzmic will leave Crvena Zvezda.

"I can say that Kuzmic will be out of the team because it's very hard for me to find the minutes for him to play," said Sfairopoulos. "He's a great guy and professional. For us, it's a professional way to part ways with him, but we'll have very good feelings about him."

"Mike Tobey is still on the team, and he will be on the team. He needs to play better, of course. He knows it, and he's trying to play better," Sfairopoulos added.

Tobey has been averaging 3.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.4 PIR per game in 14 appearances for Crvena Zvezda.

Meanwhile, Kuzmic appeared in 3 EuroLeague games this season and averaged 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.0 PIR.
