Good news in a pre-season dotted with many absences due to injuries: the Sassari team will have the American Alfonzo McKinnie for the championship opener, Sunday at the PalaSerradimigni against Napoli, starting at 5.30pm.
The former Golden State and Los Angeles player arrived on the island this afternoon with all the necessary visas for membership. The American winger called to replace Eimantas Bendzius (who underwent surgery on an Achilles tendon) did not train because he was tired from the long journey, but will begin to make contact with his new team from tomorrow.
Meanwhile, coach Piero Bucchi is also enjoying the return of Ousmane Diop after the muscular fatigue that kept him out in the double friendly match in Carbonia. However, nothing can be done for the Greek winger Charalampopoulos, the guard Tyree and the winger Raspino, all sidelined due to physical problems.
