The SG Joan Sastre will play a game of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague 57 days after his right wrist injury, although coach Txus Vidorreta can not count on Bojan Dubljevic (sprained left ankle) or with Sergi García (left biceps femoral injury) in addition to the long-term injured Guillem Vives, Latavious Williams and Antoine Diot. The fourth best scorer of the Euroleague, the taronja escort Erick Green, will star in an interesting offensive duel with the best gunner of the competition, the Russian Alexey Shved.
