Tuesday to forget in Euroleague for Virtus Bologna

An evening to forget in the Euroleague for Virtus Bologna, sharply defeated in Tel Aviv by Maccabi 111-80. The V Nere have to say goodbye permanently to the play-off dream, but above all they have to deal with the stop of Abass, forced to leave due to a muscle problem that will be evaluated in the coming days.

“In the second half we couldn’t straighten out even a little bit a game that always went the wrong way,” said coach Sergio Scariolo. “We were down 30 at halftime, we still managed to do a little better. Unfortunately we had the injury of the player who seemed to be in great shape, Awudu Abass. A bad night for us, let’s think about the next one.”

Abass felt pull in his left adductor: in Istanbul he will not be there and like him Belinelli will also forfeit, due to mild muscle fatigue.
