Partizan – Beşiktaş (Tip-off at 6:00 PM)
Match Preview
Partizan approached their game against their Madrid suburb namesake at a more relaxed pace. This allowed the black-and-whites to stretch their legs and build momentum for the final match, where the intensity will be much closer to what they'll face in competitive games, offering a more realistic assessment of Đoan Penjaroja's squad's current form.
It remains to be seen whether the Spanish coach will have Kevarijus Hejs available against Beşiktaş, as he missed the Fuenlabrada clash due to minor injury concerns. The American center, along with the long-absent captain Vanja Marinković, was the only player unavailable to Penjaroja, while the rest of the team saw evenly distributed minutes.
The Istanbul team played their first tournament match on Saturday, where they convincingly beat Partizan from Fuenlabrada 108:74 in "Pionir." You can catch the open-air match between Partizan and Beşiktaş live on TV Arena Sport Premium 4, with coverage starting at 6:00 PM.
