The curtain opens at SEF with Olympic to welcome her AEK Betsson (15/5, 17:15, www.sportfm.gr, ERT3). The “red and whites” finished the three rounds in second place, with their last obligation being the postponed away match against Colossus of Rhodeswhom they crushed 100-66. From then on, in this match, George Bartzokas saw him Philip Petrushev to leave injured. His problem didn’t turn out to be serious, but his participation is doubtful.
Also, against Union, he will compete again in a league match Nikola Milutinovwho took his place Moses Wright in the Greek roster. Except will still be the Luke Sikma and Ignas Brazdeikisas well as they do not have the right to participate.
On the other hand, AEK Betsson, which participated in the Play-Outs, finished in seventh place. Her last game was on April 27 against Carditsaby which he was defeated 81-79, in “Yiannis Bourousis”. However, all this time the situation was not rosy, as delays in the payment of salaries they led the players to several absences from training. This problem was overcome a few days ago and as everything seems the Union will play normally.
