2017/18 ABA League Regular Season, Round 9, Sunday, 19.11.2017:
Where? Laktaši Sports Hall, Laktaši
When? 17:00
Story of the game: This is the clash between two teams who are not in a good rhythm. Igokea have suffered two consecutive defeats in ABA League and have therefore fallen down to the bottom half of the standings. The team have had a lot of problems in the roster recently, as two important players Đorđe Milošević and Nikola Jevtović missed couple of the games due to injuries. There is a chance that both of them will play on Sunday against Cibona, which would be an extremely important thing for the home team.
Speaking about Cibona, they are passing through a difficult period. The Wolves have lost the previous 3 games in ABA League, they parted ways with coach Slobodan Subotić and appointed Ante Nazor as the new team head coach. Therefore, the following game will be Nazor's debut, while we are about to see what will be the team reaction to this major change inside the club.
Match-up in focus: Robert Rikić will be far the tallest player in this match with his 219 cm, so he should have a significant advantage in the clash against Cibona centers. However, Luka Žorić has the experience and the quality to play against much taller players...
Head to head in regional league: In total 5:6; In Laktaši 3:3.
