Moscow will host a regular season game on Tuesday.
CSKA Moscow (Moscow, Russia) vs Enisey (Krasnoyarsk, Russia)
Time: 20:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Russia, Moscow, Krylatskoe
Broadcast: Match! Igra, Start Triumph, League website
CSKA: CSKA performance at the SuperCup scared a lot of fans, but at the start of the season, the Army team did well against MBA – but made fans very nervous in the second half when they allowed their opponent to make a 20-point comeback. The rebuilding team still lacks stability and consistency, but that’s normal for this time of year. The return of Melo Trimble, Anton Astapkovic and Livio Jean-Charles is encouraging, but Ivan Ukhov’s participation is questionable, as the guard has a knee problem. After a short break of a couple of days, Emil Rajkovic will continue to try out the new game model. This time everything will take place at the Krylatskoe (the game against MBA was played in the Megasport), but with three preseason friendly games and a few training sessions, adaptation shouldn’t be a serious problem.
Enisey: The premiere of the renewed Enisey in Samara failed. Before the game, the team lost several players due to an unknown infection, the preseason rotation broke down, the bench made only 5 points, with only Xavier Rathan-Mayes (22 points) and Jeremiah Martin (20) showed all they were able to do. The Siberian team will have to change the situation on the road against CSKA, and it won’t be easy.
