Meridian Sport<\/em><\/a>, Slovenia head coach Aleksander Sekulic gave a lengthy interview in which, among various topics, he addressed the situation involving Cancar and Nebo, calling out Olimpia Milano.<\/p>\nSekulic\u2019s words<\/strong>: \u201c<\/em>We are satisfied, especially with the group and the motivation of the players. We are less satisfied, however, with the fact that some players were not allowed to come and play. I\u2019m talking about \u010can\u010dar and Nebo, whom the club did not allow to participate with Slovenia, despite their great desire to be here. On one hand, it\u2019s a big blow; on the other, we must seize the opportunity to give space to younger players. These decisions have greatly changed our plans. We gathered on July 23, and Can\u010dar told me two days earlier that he couldn\u2019t come because the club said he did not pass their medical tests. A month earlier, we had spoken and he was highly motivated, eager to play for the national team. Interestingly, a year ago he was in worse physical condition, and Denver still allowed him to play in the Olympic qualifiers. Now he\u2019s in great shape, so this is really strange.\u201d<\/p>\nOn Josh Nebo<\/strong>: \u201c<\/em>I know he had a tough season due to injuries. He didn\u2019t play much, but we had assurances that he was healthy and ready. However, the club said he isn\u2019t, that he needs to recover. He himself said the club does not allow him to play and that he didn\u2019t want to create problems”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The controversy over Nebo and Cancar continues: Slovenia coach Sekulic criticizes Olimpia Milano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":455084,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[377,199,259,301],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-455085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eurobasket","category-euroleague","category-serie-a","category-slovenia"],"yoast_head":"\n
