Admittedly, KC, adding that some mistakenly think it would be very easy to resume the season, did not mention that the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic could hit Europe in the fall or that the Euroleague party (at least initially) probably has place without spectators. which would make the season less special. The people of Žalgiris also did not mention the financial difficulties that the clubs will undoubtedly face.
K. C. Rivers, who came to Kaunas after Maris Grigonis after suffering an injury, collected an average of 9.3 points (53% of two points, 41% of three points, 90% of fines) in the Euroleague this season.
We remind you that this Euroleague season may be over: in a long-distance conversation between Euroleague leaders and basketball players on Saturday, the latter spoke unanimously against the resumption of the tournament.
In a Euroleague team captains’ video conference, the players expressed concern for their health not only about the rampant coronavirus, but also about the increased risk of injury.
Basketball players are also unlikely to feel the financial incentive to continue this season, as they have already been promised to pay 80 percent of their annual salary.
The Euroleague will make the final decision on the extension or end of the season as early as Monday. The more you advance, the less doubt there will be that the season will end completely.
Voting in 2019-2020 The fate of the Euroleague season will take place on Monday; Representatives from 11 A-licensed clubs will attend, including Žalgiris.
On Monday night, Jordi Bertomeu plans to hold a video conference for journalists and comment on the decision.
The Euroleague has previously announced that, in the event of an extension, the regular season matches and the remaining unplayed playoffs will take place in one city, with Belgrade considered the most realistic contender for admission in July. Kaunas also claims to organize these competitions, which can only take place in theory.
If the Euroleague doesn’t continue, just know it better because next season will be crazy simply because you will have plenty of well-rested boys competing night after night.
