As expected, all 4 ABA League teams will play in the semifinals of the Serbian Cup. After FMP and Crvena zvezda mts clinched their semifinals tickets on Thursday evening, Mega Leks and Partizan NIS did the same on Friday.

Mega Leks prevailed over Dynamic by 84:57, despite playing without team captain Rade Zagorac who missed this match due to minor injury. The only problem for Mega Leks is that their point guard Nikola Rebić suffered a knee injury during the game and it is a big question whether he will be able to help the team in the rest of the tournament.

Partizan NIS left no chance to Dunav, as the black and white squad triumphed by 80:60. Partizan NIS had kind of a slow start as the score was tied after the first quarter, but then the boys coached by Aleksandar Džikić increased the pace and scored a well-expected win.
