Coach Simone Pianigiani spoke today about the very first EuroLeague game of the new year, against Buducnost. “Unfortunately we expected to be healthy and ready to go, but everything changed since the game in Tel Aviv. We won’t have Nemanje Nedovic, Kaleb Tarczewski will undergo surgery on Friday but will try to play anyway because he’s a special kid, very generous and unselfish. On top of that, Jeff Brooks had bask spams in Avellino: he will be game-time decision. That’s not the way we wanted to approach this game against a Buducnost team that is very resilient and changed dramatically for the best withthe addition of Norris Cole and Goga Bitadze, while changing the coach too. We will have to forget the emergency, play with everything that we have, find special motivation with the goal of defending what we built in the early part of the season. With Nedovic we won four road games out of five and the fifth was a last-second loss in Tel Aviv. Now we want to win more games at home, starting with Buducnost, adjusting to the situation and using all the extra motivations that we can find”.
