Vasilije Micic, Kostas Slukas and other players questionable for Eurobasket 2022
But the aforementioned list could be extended soon, since the last friendlies have left a devastating impression on some National teams.
The most striking case and one that should be watched closely is his Vasilije Micic Well, the point guard is one of the players who could make a difference in this Eurobasket. The Anadolu Efes captain sprained his right ankle in an accidental action on August 25 and is listed as doubtful to be with Serbia at EuroBasket.
Although the player says he is fine, there are still some reservations about his availability. More complicated is his situation Thomas Satoransky Well, the Czech Republic starter sprained his right ankle on August 19 and there is still no update on his condition. Tests carried out on the new Barcelona player ruled out a break but did not ease the worry one iota.
Meanwhile, in Greece they have four players hanging on by a thread. George Papagiannis (muscle problems), Kostas Sloukas (knee problems), Costas Antetokounmpo (problems in one knee) and Ioannis Papapetrou (right biceps strain) are doubtful and will soon be out.

Europa League reported NBAAccording to Eurohoops, legal action may be initiated in case of negotiations for a new project in Europe between the American league and the clubs that have signed an agreement with the Euroleague for the next ten years.
A letter was sent to the NBA last week and all EuroLeague clubs currently holding License A were notified.
It was also reported that a remote meeting will be held between Euroleague shareholder clubs on January 13, as they are the only shareholders who have not yet signed a new license for the next 10 years, and the main purpose of this will be for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Fenerbahçe and ASVEL to decide on the future.
On Friday, January 16, the deadline set by Euroleague shareholders ends to fully confirm the common future of the tournament. Therefore, answers may come within a few hours. However, we should also point out that, legally, according to existing contracts, clubs can sign their new licenses until June 30, 2026, so it is very difficult to predict anything.
Among the remaining Euroleague clubs, there is optimism that Barcelona and Fenerbahce will agree on a position with other shareholders and continue the agreement. At the same time, Real Madrid remains a mystery and ASVEL’s days in the Euroleague appear to be over.
Each case is expected to be handled individually, and in the case of ASVEL, no resistance is expected from the Euroleague if the club led by Tony Parker wants to withdraw from the tournament.
Meanwhile, the clubs that are currently participating in the Euroleague and do not have an A-license also sent a joint letter and requested their presence at the meetings regarding the future of the tournament. But most likely they will not participate in tomorrow’s negotiations.
