«We are behind, but it is in difficulties that people are evaluated, not just players»: coach Piero Bucchi does not look for excuses but encourages the team and not only to react with character. Sunday in Varese is a sort of play-off between the disappointed teams who occupy the penultimate place with only one victory to their credit.

The certainty is that Sassari will play without Ousmane Diop: the center has stopped due to a knee problem which, if it requires an operation, could keep the player out for three months. The biancoblù coach responded on the subject: «I don't have clear information, I'm waiting for news from the doctors, he is under observation and they are evaluating. If he isn't there, it's Treier who can play as a pivot and also McKinnie, we have to be chameleonic."

Meanwhile, the market radio reports the American pivot Taylor Smith as very close to Dinamo, with 11 points and 7 rebounds last year with the Verona shirt. The American is returning from surgery on his knee patellar tendon. We need to understand if he has truly recovered, because given the precarious physical situation of Charalampopoulos too, we cannot take any risks.
