While the Roca Team beat JDA Dijon on Sunday (76-74) while being very weak (Mike James, Nick Calathes, Élie Okobo, Juhann Begarin, Donatas Motiejunas and Mam’ Jaiteh forfeits), AS Monaco will recover well world this Tuesday for the reception of the Red Star of Belgrade.
If Calathes continues his rehabilitation, the James – Okobo – Motiejunas trio is operational. On the other hand, Mouhammadou Jaiteh (2.11 m, 29 years old) will still be missing: while he remained on a double-double in Dunkirk (10 points and 10 rebounds), the 2022 EuroCup MVP was missed the last two matches, with the trip to Istanbul and the opposition against the JDA. Hit in the knee, he will be absent again this Tuesday against Red Star. But the Principality club is counting on him on Thursday for the duel in Vitoria, where he will find his ex-teammate Donta Hall in the racket. Or a new opportunity for Petr Cornelie, who came out of formalin last weekend, to grab some playing time?
