However, in their second fixture of the week—on Friday night in Belgrade against Paris—head coach Ibon Navarro is expected to have an extra center at his disposal.

According to Sport Klub, Ebuka Izundu's recovery from a nagging ankle sprain sustained against Budućnost in the ABA League is progressing according to plan. Barring any complications, the powerful Nigerian center could be included in the squad for the EuroLeague Round 6 clash.

The Red-and-Whites proved in Villeurbanne that they can secure a victory even with makeshift options in the paint. Nonetheless, every minute from the 208 cm big man from Lagos will be crucial against the likes of Momo Faye, Allan Dokossi, and Leopold Cavaliere.

On Wednesday night, Paris suffered their fourth defeat of the EuroLeague season.
