ABA League Round 12, Sunday, 22.12.2019:

MORNAR - CIBONA

Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar

Where? 18:00

Story of the game: The Sunday’s schedule begins with the match in Bar, where Mornar are about to host Cibona.

Mornar are in a slightly better situation than their rivals ahead of this match. The boys from Bar have won the previous two games in the season and they are very close to the Top 4 zone. On top of all that, the club made a major signing last week, as they added former Koper Primorska shooting guard Lance Harris to their roster. Harris has been one of the league’s best players in the first half of the season and he should be a big reinforcement for Mornar squad for the rest of the 2019/20 ABA League campaign.

On the other side, Cibona have lost the previous two games in the season, so they are coming to Bar with a clear goal to break that losing streak. The Wolves have also strengthened their roster over the past week as they signed a contract with 22-year old shooting guard Roko Badžim. We are about to see if Cibona can repeat their match in Bar from 2017 when they managed to beat Mornar on the road.

Match-up in focus: Damir Markota (Mornar) vs. Roko Prkačin (Cibona). This will be quite a special duel for a few reasons. First of all, Markota has been kind of a mentor for Prkačin in the previous season when two of them played together in Cibona. Secondly, Markota is one of the most experienced players in the league, while Prkačin is among the youngest guys in the entire competition. They know each other very well and they will have a direct duel as two of them play at the same position.  

Head to head in the regional league: In total 4:3; In Bar 2:1.
