The number of corona infections after the first round of the Euroleague has risen to nine.
Moscow Khimki announced three players who were found positive for the virus: Yannis Tima, Yevgeny Voronov and Jordan Mickey.
The three join three more from CSKA Moscow: Nikola Milutinov, Yannis Strelniks and Saman Antonov and three more from Barcelona: coach Sharonas Jasikevicius, assistant Darius Masculinas and another professional team member.
Himki is scheduled to play tomorrow in the VTB League against Caleb Tallinn and on Friday host Zalgiris Kaunas in the Euroleague.
Even before the line-up, she suffered injuries from Alexei Sheved, Stefan Jovic and Greg Monroe.
For a game with Panathinaikos in the first round (loss 78:76) she recorded only 11 players.
According to Euroleague rules, if a team has less than 8 players, it suffers a technical loss.
CSKA, despite the three contagious, continues as usual and is now playing against Lokomotiv Kuban. On Thursday, it will host Maccabi Tel Aviv.
