Olimpia reunites with Shields and two bitter-sweet exes

To hope for the playoffs, a win is needed on the Valencia field

A contest not to be missed. Olimpia visits Valencia for a decisive challenge in view of the Euroleague play-offs. The red-and-whites are 12° in the standings (9-12 the red-and-white record), preceded just by the Spanish club (10-11). A win is needed to relaunch. Fortunately, Coach Messina finds Shields back, albeit with limited range. Out since late 2023, the AX star'AX è missed a lot.

Coach Messina is also expected to debut McGruder in the red and white jersey. The former Detroit Pistons player has è trained extensively this week and appears to be ready now. He will have to lend a hand to Napier, who seems to be struggling a bit lately. There will not be, however, Bortolani, one of the most positive among the Milanese ranks in recent Euroleague games.

In addition, Olimpia will have to deal with two former players with a poisoned tooth. In the ranks of Valencia, in fact, there are Pangos and Davies. The former è was cut by coach Messina in a peremptory way, so much so that the Canadian playmaker did not understand the real reasons for his farewell. Also watch out for Davies. The former Barcelona has not convinced in the red and white jersey but aims to make life difficult for the AX.
