Coach Aleksander Sekulic said that Bine Prepelic and Jan Span are the final two players who will not be included in the group travelling to Athens this Sunday for the OQT in Piraeus next week.

However, among the current players competing in the NBA and the EuroLeague, only Luka Doncic, Vlatko Cancar, and Josh Nebo stand out.

“Securing a victory prior to our arrival in Piraeus is highly appreciated, however, we acknowledge that our opportunities for further training are diminishing,” Sekulic remarked.

“In the upcoming trainings, our goal is to refine specific aspects in order to enhance our diversity and unpredictability, making us more formidable against our opponents,” he continued.
