Christenson
The race for Scudetto continues this evening, with 5 games scheduled for 18:00 (CET). This is what you should know before the start of Sunday’s schedule.
Piacenza head coach Alberto Giuliani has a lot of worries before the derby match against Lube. Leonel Marshall is unable to play, as he is still waiting to get the Italian citizenship, Viktor Yosifov had problems with his abs during the past week, so he should start the match from the bench. On top of that, two Cuban players Fernando Hernandez Ramos and Raydel Hierrezuelo Aguirre also struggle with minor injuries, but they should be in the starting lineup, while there is a big question whether libero Loris Manià will be ready to step on the court, due to his calf injury.
On the other side, Lube have full roster available for the upcoming match. Micah Christenson has fully recovered and he should be ready to get into the starting lineup, while Jiri Kovar is also back in his full shape.
Perugia are about to host Padova in PalaEvangelisti, while this might be a chance for Aleksandar Atansijević to make his 1st appearance in the new season. He will probably not start the match, but we may see him enter the court at some point.
You might have already read that Earvin Ngapeth may miss the today’s game between Milano and Modena.
Finally, Monza will face Vibo Valentia without injured Ivan Raič, who has back problems.
