Our team will face start of season sensation Tsmoki-Minsk in the VTB League game.

“Minsk has pretty much the same group of players that they had last year,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “They had Mirkovic and Grey who are good creators, several experienced players like Maras and Kudriavtsev. They also had some quality additions – Hilliard who comes off the screens and can play on the block, Stutz who adds size and some more experience. Tsmoki is a team that has clear ideas in what it is doing. We have one day to prepare for that, and with all respect to our opponents we play well recently and we plan to continue playing the same way to please our fans that will come to the game on Sunday.”

Aaron Jackson and Victor Khryapa remain on CSKA injured list.
