EA7 Emporio Armani Milan point guard Kevin Pangos was left out of the team's squad for Thursday's game against AS Monaco, and head coach Ettore Messina confirmed it was his decision.

"It's a technical decision, we'll see if we continue with it," Messina answered shortly about Pangos' absence.

Nevertheless, such a decision didn't bring much success to Messina and Olimpia Milan, which suffered a 66-72 defeat, which was the 4th in a row for the Italian team.

Despite poor results, Messina believes his team should remain calm.

"We have to approach the situation in a calm way, it's a difficult market, Nunn went to Panathinaikos, Carlik Jones signed in China, these situations require time. The most important thing right now is to focus on improving the situation with the players we have right now," Messina said.

Next week, Olimpia Milan will host Valencia Basket.
