Overview
- Trapani arrived in Bulgaria with only five players, including two teenagers, and the game against Hapoel Holon ended at 38-5 when injuries and fouls left a single player on court.
- FIBA declared the play-in series over immediately, canceling the scheduled return leg and eliminating Trapani from the Basketball Champions League.
- The club already carries an eight-point penalty in Serie A for administrative irregularities in payments of withholdings and contributions.
- A roster exodus and the earlier departure of coach Jasmin Repesa left the team depleted, with recent moves reported to Tofas Bursa, PAOK, Bahcesehir and Granada.
- Italian coverage reports domestic uncertainty persists, with federal tribunal matters pending and Saturday’s game against Trento viewed as a marker for the club’s future in the league.
