With the return of play guard Chris Dowe, who played against Milan, the experience in Sassari of the "substitute" Aleksej Nikolic ended. This morning Banco di Sardegna officially communicated the consensual termination of the contract with the Slovenian point guard, adding «thanks from the whole club for the commitment made in recent months and best wishes for a brilliant continuation of his career». Career that will continue in Brescia, left without a director due to the injury to Troy Capain.

With the Sassari shirt Nikolic averaged 6.2 points and 2.5 assists in the six league games.

Coach Piero Bucchi has been working with the final group since last week, unless he returns to the transfer market in one-two months. A group that compared to the summer had to replace the talented and powerful center Chinanu Onuaku with the dynamic and lighter DeShawn Stephens who on Sunday will face the two big men from Tortona, the defender and very technical Cain and the powerful Radosevic.
