“The Euroleague has set a deadline for the decision, March 21, but I know the answer that we will receive. I think everyone knows it. I will be happy to be wrong and promise to drink champagne if the decision surprises me….

“And it’s hard to imagine that Russian teams will have the opportunity to continue the Euroleague season. Not only because of politics, but there are also logistical problems”.
