Opponent to fix appetite? Until another. USK will not play with Riga yet
“First we received a message from FIBA and then we also communicated with Riga that they have positive covid players in the team. There are several cases, not just one. As a result, they can’t attend Wednesday’s match. We were looking for an alternative date and finally the match will take place on February 19, which is Saturday just before the first round of the playoffs, “said Kučera.
The Fenerbahce Istanbul-Schiem match, which was postponed last week, will take place on the same date, as will the Moscow MBA duel with Venice. The duel of Ekaterinburg with the Moscow MBA will not take place this Wednesday from the program of the current 13th round.
After twelve matches, USK Praha ranks second in group A and has a balance of eight wins and four defeats. However, the third Salamanca has a good 20 points compared to the Czech champions of the match.
The Prague team lost in the last two matches – at home with Ekaterinburg and in Salamanca. They will have to wait for the first European success in 2022 this week as well.
According to Kučera, the transfer of the match could help the team at least to gain game experience before the elimination fights. These are on the program from February 23.
“It’s not ideal that you miss a match. On the other hand, before the second round of the playoffs, we would be looking for an opponent to start and play. This match will help us in that we will play a duel with a quality opponent and thus it can get to the operating temperature, “said Kučera.
