AEK believed in it until the end, defeated Ludwigsburg and entered the Basketball Champions League on the right foot

Ludwigsburg did a terrible job in offensive rebounding, but AEK believed in it until the final, took the victory 84-79 and entered the Basketball Champions League of the 2023/24 season with a right hand.

The stress from the away game against Olympiakos was great, the closed Ano Liosion did not have many people due to the penalty from last season, but AEK entered the Basketball Champions League 2023/24 in an impressive way with a surprise and a win against Olympiakos Ludwigsburg (84-79).

Juan Plata’s team struggled to find space on the perimeter, shot four times as many 2-pointers as 3-pointers and struggled to rebound defensively. Nevertheless, even with 2/12 3-point shots, even with 22 rebounds from Risse, AEK secured the victory thanks to their fight and belief in the turnaround in the fourth quarter.

Ben McLemore found the score he missed in the SEF, Justin Tillman and Mindaugas Kuzminskas scored and Langston Hall was there to keep the gas going in the final until his team secured the score.

Ludwigsburg, on the other hand, played more dynamically and more balanced, paid more attention to the ball and had more opportunities in attack. Javon Graves filled his tally, Bui-Edgin followed suit, but in the end the Germans didn’t have the clarity they needed to make a crucial save or make a big throw, leaving Ano Liosia beaten.

In the past, Fraser of Prometheus asked to leave for personal reasons

A blow for Prometheus, because before two weeks had passed since the agreement with Tim Fraser, he had to terminate the contract of the American, who wanted to leave due to a family problem.

Tim Frazier’s second stint in the Stoiximan Basket League was short-lived after Prometheus announced the termination of his contract just 12 days after his acquisition.

As Patrini revealed, the American asked to leave for personal reasons, with Prometheus respecting his wishes.

Frazier managed to play in just one game with the Patriots – in the 68-71 loss to Dijon in the Basketball Champions League, where he had 8 points and 4 assists – with the only positive for Prometheus being no foreigner Stoiximan Basket League was substituted in the Basketball Champions League because he had not included him in his Greek squad.

The announcement in detail:

“KAE Prometheus Patras announces the amicable solution to its collaboration with Tim Frazier, respecting the exceptional family problem that has arisen for the American athlete. We thank him for his offer and wish him all the best for his career.”
