Basketball: there is Supercoppa, suspect Covid shakes Milan

The one-off basketball Super Cup extended to all 16 Serie A teams was organized with the aim of being a party for the 50th anniversary of Lega Basket and to represent an opportunity to relaunch after the championship without winners or losers, truncated the last March 7 due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus emergency. And instead a suspected Covid case of an - asymptomatic - member of the Ax Milano staff - already isolated and whose name has not been revealed to respect privacy - shakes the eve of the overture at the Forum, where it is scheduled at 5 pm great classic between Olimpia and Cantù. Hours of anxiety, the game hangs by a thread throughout the afternoon, with the activity of the Ax suspended until the results of the swabs for the players of Ettore Messina's team, who returned last weekend from a tournament in Cagliari: all fortunately negative and therefore all eligible for the derby. A sigh of relief for a movement already grappling with the crowd at the arena: the Forum will be empty (but the hypothesis of a partial opening for the following matches in the Lombard group remains standing), in Trento-Venice next Wednesday 500 spectators will be authorized, for the matches in Emilia Romagna approximately 25% of the total capacity of the plant will be admitted, while the group of Olbia - with Sassari, Rome, Brindisi and Pesaro - remains confirmed behind closed doors but attentive by the four companies, concerned about the coronavirus situation in Sardinia.
