Heavy defeat for Prometheus in Israel and waiting for an opponent in the next phase of the EuroCup
Prometheus also failed to make it in Israel against Hapoel Tel Aviv, suffered a bitter defeat on the 18th day of the EuroCup, but did not lose the home field advantage in the next phase, where they are waiting to find out their opponent.
As in Patras, Prometheus suffered a heavy 108-69 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel, which doesn’t seem to suit them at all. Thus, Yannis Christopoulos’ team finished their duties in the EuroCup group stage with a record of 11-7, giving them fourth place and home rights in the next stage of the competition. Giannis Christopoulos’ team will have to wait for the end of the 18th matchday to determine their opponents in the round of 16.
The race
Hapoel Tel Aviv started with a good morning shot at Prometheus’ racquet, a plan that proved very effective as they had 11/15 two-pointers in the first period that they used to have 28-19 (10′) finished.
As time went on, the gap began to narrow, by half-time it was 28 points (59:31, 20′), with the home side celebrating a party in the suit and Arnoldas Kulboka being the only reliable solution for the Patrinas in the scoring, after setting 12 points.
Aside from a good phase in the third period, the picture of the game didn’t change in the second half either, with the Patronos suffering a heavy defeat that they were to recover immediately.

Real Madrid and Gran Canaria managed the EuroLeague and EuroCup double this year. For the third time, two Spanish teams reach the top of both competitions in the same season.
The consistency of the Spanish teams in recent years is admirable. This year, for the third time since 2000, two teams from the Iberian Peninsula have won the EuroLeague and the EuroCup in the same season.
Through the hands of Sergio Yul, Real Olympiakos hit the canvas in the Final Four 2023 in Kaunas and lifted their 11th trophy in Europe’s top club competition. Not long ago, Gran Canaria had defeated Turk Telekom to become champions of the EuroCup, securing their place in the EuroLeague. Although their presence there next season is far from certain, it needs to be thought about.
Barcelona and Valencia have actually managed this informal double twice in the past. In the 2002/03 season, the Blaugrana won their first EuroLeague, while the Orange were crowned EuroCup champions and clinched their first European title. Simultaneous successes in the EuroLeague and the EuroCup were achieved again by Barcelona and Valencia in the 2009/10 season.

Elias Papatheodorou is expected to become Prometheus’ new manager as both teams are close to a final agreement. The formalities for the announcement remain in place.
From Rhodes to Patras. Elias Papatheodorou is set to succeed Yannis Christopoulos as technical director of Prometheus.
The veteran technician, who guided Kolossos to this year’s Basket League play-offs, is close to agreeing a cooperation deal with the Achaean club. In fact, the talks between the two sides are so advanced that only a major emergency can “annul” the “marriage.”
Therefore, in the coming days, the announcement of Prometheus Patras is expected, which will formalize the start of cooperation with Ilias Papatheodorou.

Turkish Football Federation: ‘We will review our relationship with EuroCup after coach Can’ injury’
The Turkish Basketball Federation appeared to be dissatisfied with the EuroCup after the “strange” accident involving Turk Telecom coach Erdem Can on the day of the final.
The focus is on the accident of the coach, Erdem Can, apparently caused intentionally by the driver of the bus that took the Turk Telecom team to the Gran Canaria stadium for training on the day of the EuroCup final, which is news and has provoked violent reactions. In this regard, the Turkish Basketball Federation issued a sharp statement, stressing that it would review its ties with the organizing authority.
“While participating in the EuroCup final, our representative Turk Telekom was defeated by Gran Canaria and took second place. The Turkish Basketball Federation is deeply saddened by the infamous accident that resulted in the coach’s injury Erdem Can when Turk Telecom went to pre-game practice.
Despite the shocking and unprecedented events, and despite the awards made in the game, our team, Turk Telecom, has made all of Turkey proud, regardless of the outcome. The horrific incidents experienced by the team before, during and after the crucial game that would decide the champion prompt the Turkish Basketball Federation to review its relationship with the EuroCup governing body.
Once again we send our best wishes to Turk Telecom for what happened off the field, which is far from sporting ideals. At the same time, we are announcing to the public that we will be monitoring the incident.” details the relevant announcement.
