Overview
- The Basketball Champions League recorded the game as a 38-5 loss by default for Trapani and awarded the series to Hapoel Holon under Article 14.5.4.
- Referees halted the match in Bulgaria after about seven minutes when Trapani could not keep the minimum two players on the court.
- Trapani started with only five available players, including teenagers Matteo Patti (born 2007) and Francesco Martinelli (born 2008).
- Veterans Riccardo Rossato, Fabrizio Pugliatti, and Alessandro Cappelletti exited early before a fifth foul to a youth player left only one teammate available.
- Club president Valerio Antonini said fielding a team avoided a €600,000 no-show fine, as the club reels from a financial crisis that prompted coach Jasmin Repesa and several players to depart.
