Virtus Bologna, important recovery for Sergio Scariolo

Virtus Bologna will face off against Venezia

Good news for Sergio Scariolo ahead of the game, valid for the 15th day of the Italian top basketball league, in which Virtus Bologna will face off against Walter de Raffaele’s Reyer Venezia.

In the challenge against the orogranata, the coach of the felsinei in fact will be able to rely on the recovered Nico Mannion, out in recent outings due to a contusion in his right shoulder. The return of the former Golden State Warriors blue point guard will most likely allow the coach of the Black Vu’s to give Milos Teodosic a turn to rest.

The decision not to use the experienced Serbian player is certainly related to the crucial Euroleague game scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 19, against Panathinaikos, with the Bologna-based team still hoping to advance to the next stage in the top continental competition.

Moreover, the Greeks are direct opponents in the standings for Sergio Scariolo’s men: in fact, Virtus Bologna currently occupies the 13th position with a record of 8 wins and 11 losses while the green-and-whites are 15th, having suffered 7 wins and 12 losses.
