After five games on Thursday, the EuroLeague comes back with four more battles on Friday.

To start the day off, Zalgiris Kaunas welcomed Valencia Basket but got overplayed early in the game, trailing by 22 at the half. The hosts did not manage to overcome the deficit and lost their first game at home this season.

Meanwhile, Gianmarco Pozzecco made his official debut for LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne as the club played at home against Virtus Segafredo Bologna. Despite being competitive throughout the entire contest, the French team ended up losing once again.

After an underwhelming start, Panathinaikos Athens looked for a bounce-back win against Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. The guests registered just nine players, with Chima Moneke not playing a single minute. Panathinaikos overcame the opponents in the end and celebrated a win.

To finish the day off, FC Bayern Munich hosted Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. Thousands of Turkish fans arrived in Germany to support their favorite team, and they did not disappoint, capturing a victory away from home.
