CSKA basketball player Nikita Kurbanov answered the question of which team will cause the Muscovites the most problems in the 2024/2025 season.
The upcoming season of the VTB United Basketball League will be held in four rounds with the participation of 12 teams.
— I don’t think there’s anyone to single out here. Probably, the top four will compete with each other again and distribute prize places. Us, UNICS and Zenit, plus we’ll see how it goes in Lokomotiv, because there’s quite a global restructuring there.
It is interesting to see how Uralmash will perform, because they had a very decent last season. Parma is the same. The previous season showed that you can’t have a one-sided attitude towards any team. I never thought that you could lose to Yenisey twice. Bravo to Krasnoyarsk, they approached the games against us very well. This, again, adds interest to the season and the matches for the spectators. UNICS has strengthened quite well. Lopatin has arrived.
Vorontsevich left for Zenit. It seems like the same players, but in other teams, in other systems. And the team can compete in a completely different way. So it will be interesting, – “Championship” quotes Kurbanov as saying.

Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to left knee hyperextension.
The Serb is expected to miss all 18 matches in January and his maximum appearances this season could be limited to 64 matches. So Jokic will lose the opportunity to compete for the NBA’s main prizes – MVP and inclusion in the All-NBA, as this requires playing at least 65 games in the regular season.
Theoretically, he could return for the January 31 game against the Brooklyn Nets, which would give Nikola the opportunity to play 65 games before the end of the season, but that scenario is unlikely.
Jokic was injured in the last seconds of the first half of the match against Miami Heat (123:147) and did not return to the field after a long break. Before his injury, he managed to score 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.

Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to a left knee injury.
Star center was diagnosed with left knee hyperextension. At the same time, tests confirmed that the three-time NBA MVP’s knee ligaments remained intact.
Jokic was injured in the final seconds of the first half of the 123-147 loss to the Miami Heat and limped heavily on his way to the locker room. He did not return to the site after a long time.
Before his injury, Nikola managed to produce 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes on the field.
Losing Jokic could be a big blow for Denver, as starters Christian Braun (ankle injury), Aaron Gordon (hip issue) and Cam Johnson (knee injury) remain sidelined.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.
