Before the trip to Kaunas, Chimki is experiencing internal turmoil.

According to Sport-express sources, after the last Euroleague game, which was lost at home to the Piraeus Olympia club, the Khimki team had a serious conversation between the players and the management.

Chimki finished the first round of the Euroleague with 2 wins and 15 losses in last eighteenth place.

The club seems to be in the mood for a change.

Chimki is reportedly interested in Thomas Heurtel, who played for Barcelona this season but is now on the brink of the club: after a secret but failed deal with Real Madrid, the French player was dropped off at Istanbul airport for a Barcelona management decision. Now, the 31-year-old basketball player does not compete in Šarūnas Jasikevičius’ team and does not train with him.

Although Th.Heurtel scored 2.9 points and 2.4 assists this season in the Euroleague, his career average of 9.7 points, he is among the players with the most assists in Euroleague history.

The Masquerade Club is also concerned about replacing Greg Monroe under the baskets.

Their candidate, Black, 29, has played in the NBA for five seasons and recently played for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The 206cm tall American scored 11 points and 5.4 balls for the Israeli club last season, and played few injuries last year; He hasn’t played anywhere since the beginning of this year.

This could be a major reinforcement for the Chimki club ahead of the second round of the Euroleague, which will start for the Russian club in Kaunas next week.

On Friday, January 8, the people of Žalgiris will look to extend the five-win streak when a Russian club led by Rimas Kurtinaitis arrives in Kaunas.
