It's a European interlude for Dinamo, who will face Peristeri tomorrow in Athens at 7pm in the second match of the second phase of the Europe Cup. While Sassari is coming off a home defeat against Aliaga and a more stinging one in Tortona after two overtimes, in a cursed evening that cost American Marshall a right knee injury, the Greek team instead conquered Zaragoza in the Europe Cup and clearly prevailed in the league against Olympiacos (102-65).
Peristeri is led on the bench by Vasileios Xanthopoulos, a former veteran point guard in Greek basketball. Their main offensive force is winger Ty Nichols, who averages 18 points and 5 assists and was the 2024 Czech League MVP with Patrioti Levice.
The Sassari team will be without Marshall, who won't return until February. It remains to be seen whether center Seck will recover. In any case, there will be more room for Beliauskas and Ceron.
The assistant coach Massimiliano Oldoini spoke about the match as follows: "Peristeri is a team that makes defensive physicality one of its strengths and relies on several individual solutions in attack, particularly Ty Nichols and Spanish point guard Cadenas. For our part, we'll have to play a solid game, with great control, especially against their intense defense."
