Parker Faces Selection Dilemmas: ASVEL Sidelined by Absences Ahead of Partizan Clash

Pulse Sports Team 11:24 - 27 October 2026

ASVEL host Partizan in Lyon this Wednesday for Round 8 of the EuroLeague, with the French side heading into the fixture hampered by roster issues.

The French outfit edged past Nancy 78-74 in domestic action over the weekend, navigating the contest without several regular first-team players.

Head coach Tony Parker confirmed after the victory that Mathis Dossou-Yovo and Juhann Begarin remain sidelined with health issues. Dossou-Yovo is battling a groin injury, while Begarin has been out of action for some time due to undisclosed reasons.

Additionally, TyTy Washington, David Lighty, and Miles Cale were rested against Nancy, meaning they will be well-rested when they take on the Black-and-Whites.

On the other hand, Partizan rested Carlik Jones during their ABA League clash against Spartak, but the coaching staff will travel to Lyon without Derek Willis, Tonye Jekiri, and Vanja Marinković.

Tip-off is scheduled for Wednesday at 8:00 PM.

Partizan currently sit 11th in the standings with a 4-3 record, while the French club hold 17th place at 2-5.
