A debut with defeat despite a decent performance. The Sassari playmaker Marco Spissu played his first match in the Euroleague tonight. His Unics Kazan lost the Russian derby against Zenit St. Petersburg: 69-70 the final.
For the former Dinamo player 21 minutes on the pitch despite coming off the bench. For him 5 points resulting from 1/3 shooting from the field and 3/4 from the line plus 2 assists. For Unics Kazan 18 points by Isaiah Canaan.
Marco Spissu has already made his debut in the Vbt League: after the scarce 10 minutes against Lokmotiv Kuban, he played 20 minutes with 8 points and 7 assists in the success of Unics Kazan over Zielona Gora for 92-63.
Marco Spissu thus enters the quintet of Sardinian players who played in the Euroleague: the play-guard Massimo Chessa (with Dinamo), the wings Gigi Datome (who won it with Fenerbahce in 2017) and Sasha Grant (he made his debut with Bayern Munich last year) and the long Daniele Soro who played a minute in the then Champions Cup with the shirt of Virtus Bologna.
