Olimpia Milano, with Nikola Mirotic it’s a different story

After as many as 20 races in the pits, the former Barcelona man put on a show in Sassari

He's been watching his teammates for a long time. As many as 20 games Mirotic spent in the pits because of a known Achilles tendon problem. Finally, against Sassari, he è returned to the court, confirming that he is a player of another category. In the white-and-red success (80-65), Mirotic chipped in with an impressive 16 points in a total of 15 minutes of play. An excellent comeback.

At this point, everything changes. Having Mirotic available again allows Messina to look to the future with more serenity. The talent of the Montenegrin naturalized Spaniard è is immense, as is his ability to make a difference on the court with his experience. Obviously, one cannotò think that Mirotic is already in top condition, so we will have to go easy on the minutes.

Coach Messina knows this perfectly well. It also applies to Melli and Voigtmann, absent against Dinamo because è struggling with some physical discomfort: "We will see in the coming days. Johannes è was mostly precautionary, while Nicolò had cramps, an overload and è the antechamber of a possible injury. On both we will have to be very careful about the minutes, soì also Mirotic", the words of Messina himself in the press conference.
