The head coach of the Barcelona team, Šarūnas Jasikevičius, and his main assistant, Darius Maskoliūnas, fell ill with coronavirus, the club announced.
It is emphasized that they are both feeling well and isolated at home.
On Thursday night, Barcelona kicked off the Euroleague season when they faced CSKA Moscow at home. The meeting in Catalonia was won by the local 76:66.
Since the second week of September, the Euroleague has required clubs to test for coronavirus every week. Before Barcelona, no team had announced positive responses.
Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Barcelona and San Sebastián Gipuzkoa are scheduled to play in the Spanish ACB League. In the Spanish team of the Spanish league, David García is the first assistant coach by the established rules, so if this duel takes place, he should lead the game.
On Thursday, the Catalan team will face Zenit in Saint Petersburg.
Coronavirus cases in Euroleague clubs will not be considered a reason why a duel should not occur. If one or more COVID-19 cases are detected among team players, coaches or staff members, these individuals must isolate themselves, but the remaining team must participate in the match according to the Euroleague schedule.
The club must register at least 8 players for the meeting to take place. If that number cannot be collected, then a 0:20 technical loss would be recorded for the team.
CSKA Moscow coach Dimitris Itoudis and Piraeus Olympiac striker Kostas Papanikolaou had been diagnosed with coronavirus before the start of the season.
