Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Partizan's coach, Zeljko Obradovic, provided injury updates.

Kevin Punter had been sidelined for a long time after remake tests showed that the shooting guard had injured his back and his knee.

His return is not fully slated, though he has started individual practice. As Zeljko Obradovic noted: "He started slowly. He still has a long way to go."

As for Avramovic, he suffered a nose break in Partizan's loss against Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana in the ABA League and will not play against Anadolu Efes.

Obradovic also gave an update on Avramovic's injury: "We should receive complete information today. He will certainly not travel with us to Istanbul. We will see how it goes."

Anadolu Efes is also facing injury woes, though no official announcement has been made by the club or its head coach, Erdem Can.

The two teams will meet on 24 November, with both sharing the same win-loss record of 4-5.
