Over the weekend, the Euroleague board decided that the home games of the Russian teams will be moved to another country, while their away games will take place as usual.
This is after they did not play in the passing round.
However, no one can guarantee that they will play in four or five days, given the rising voices for boycotting the country and its representatives in every possible field.
Thus, for example, the Polish Gillona Gora and the Estonian Tallinn announced the departure of the VTB League, and they joined Zalgiris Kaunas who made it clear that they do not intend to appear for the games against the Russian rivals in the Euroleague.
The issue will be put to the test as early as this week: on Tuesday, a rematch is scheduled to take place between Zenit St. Petersburg and Willerban, and between Olympia Milan and Onyx Kazan.
CSKA and Kazan are scheduled to host Real Madrid Wheelerban on Thursday, while Zenit plans to arrive in Israel and host Maccabi Tel Aviv that evening.
