The Euroleague's attempt to resume the season this evening (Saturday) faced a not easy problem as players voiced opposition to the resumption of the game just before the factory captains discussed Monday's meeting on the future of the current season. If that happens, the Euroleague will return to activity on July 4 when the final six cycles of the regular season will be played, followed by a Final 8 tournament.
Before the crucial meeting, a video meeting was held today between the Euroleague leaders and the players' representatives. Those who took part in the meeting were the captains of each Euroleague team plus another player from each club. Also, the player representatives of the eight Eurocap teams that reached the quarterfinals.
According to a report in Greece, the players' representatives expressed strong opposition to repetition, mainly expressing concern over the contagion of the corona virus and fear of injuries following the short preparation time after a long period and a return to a very intense schedule.
Publicly speaking was Anadolu Zero's star, Shane Larkin, who wrote on social networks: "It's not the ideal mental and physical situation to return to intense activity. It was no ordinary carcass. " The conditions of competition by Larkin are also incorrect: "This long break created an unfair advantage for a number of players and a number of teams. Don't think the Euroleague Championship should be decided by which team could train more and which team. "
