While public pressure to suspend Russian teams until the end of the season is growing and Messina is also urging Bartomeu to "be more determined", a struggle has begun below the surface for the stars to be ejected into the market.

Summary: Barcelona - Real Madrid 59:64 (Sport1)

The pressure on the Euroleague management to decide on the status of the Russian team against the background of the fighting in Ukraine is growing.

According to a report on Basketnews, the ultimatum issued by the plant's management to return to CSKA Moscow, Onyx Kazan and Zenit St. Petersburg's is March 21. For

the time being, the three Russian teams are temporarily suspended from the factory, but no sweeping decision has yet been made, unlike other factors in the sports world who clearly and explicitly ban Russian teams and athletes. More if the Euroleague had explained its position clearly.

In the meantime they went for a temporary compromise, and decided to wait.

"This is true from the point of view of the other groups, but there is no statement here about the violence that Russia is using towards Ukraine."

According to Messina, "Russian teams are also giving up on the season," as proof of its massive release of foreigners from the team.

Today, CSKA's first refugee signed for another team, with Daniel Hackett joining Virtus Bologna.

Of course, such a decision will dramatically change the table, and may play into the hands of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the playoffs for the playoffs.

Also, such a decision may hasten further moves by the Yellows, who have already been mentioned as likely to appoint Zenit coach Xavi Pascual as their next coach.

Zenit has not yet made a decision on Pascual's future, but if the Euroleague suspends it by the end of the season, there is little chance she can keep him.

Either way, the Euroleague knows that geopolitical changes can change the map of European basketball as well.

The Greek website SDNA published an article today about the "big bang" of the Euroleague that will be created as a result of the departure of senior players from the Russian teams.

Stars like Will Claiborne, Toko Shangalya, Johannes Fuigtman, Kevin Pangos, Mario Hazonia, Lorenzon Brown and Jordan Mickey may become free agents, creating a domino effect in the summer market.

"It is very likely that we will see these players stand for a kind of auction between the Euroleague teams," Greece explains.

"This summer will change the map in the Euroleague, and the opportunities that will open up in the market will give opportunities to teams that have been less successful in recent years to return to the big days."
