Overview
- Baskonia confirmed Rodions Kurucs has rejoined group training and is expected to be available for the upcoming game against Partizan.
- Tadas Sedekerskis remains sidelined with muscular problems, leaving Clément Frisch as the only natural power forward on the roster.
- Coach Velimir Perasovic said he has been expecting a new center for weeks and expects a 'good pivot' to arrive soon but indicated it is unlikely before the Partizan match.
- The team has used tactical stopgaps by converting DJ Stewart into the four and relying on small forwards to play inside, which strains rotation and match planning.
- If a signing does not arrive quickly, Baskonia's short-term competitiveness in the EuroLeague will depend on players returning from injury and greater minutes for younger or out-of-position players.
