The new coach of the Battles of the Basque Country, Neven Spahija, will be the protagonist of the duel between the Catalans and the Red Star to be held at the Fernando Buesa Arena at 8:30 p.m., where the Croatian coach directed his last match to the Vitoria team in the final that gave them their second ACB League title.

Alec Peters and Sander Raieste they will cause loss in this duel that will mark the beginning of the second stage of Neven Spahija in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Nikola Kalinic y Nate Wolters They lead the squad led by the Montenegrin Dejan Radonjic, which has recently incorporated Stefan Markovic in the base position, who debuted on Sunday in the Adriatic League in the derby against Partizan, which was won by Red Star in the fourth quarter.
