A competitive training session and nothing more, Wednesday at the PalaSerradimigni starting at 8:30 PM. Dinamo has already been eliminated from the second group stage of the Europa Cup . At most, there's a spark of pride to try to move from zero in the standings. Greek side Peristeri have already qualified for the playoffs, although their objective remains first place, currently occupied by Turkish side Petkim Spor Kulübü .
The first leg was a dead heat: Peristeri led 98-84, with a 22-point lead at halftime. The leading scorer in that game was guard Nate Johnson , who has been sidelined for a month. It's hard to know whether coach Mrsic will let him get back on the court for a few minutes or whether he'll be careful to save the American for the trip to Udine .
Small forward Marshall , however, was out injured. The American's return will be expected in March, following the Italian Cup break and the international transfer window.
