Tonight’s menu has a game for the 1st group of the Eurocup, with the Russians (2-0) welcoming the French (1-1).
Lokomotiv has started the season in Eurocup, winning both games, with Evgeny Pashutin’s team aiming to reach the end of the route in this year’s competition. After all, this summer, they spent several million euros again to strengthen the roster: Errick McCollum, Jonathan Motley, Stanton Kidd, Alan Williams, Darius Thompson. Moreover, during the week, they proceeded to another impressive move by signing the two-time NBA champion (in 2018 with Golden State and 2020 with the Lakers), guard Quinn Cook. In the Eurocup, in the first match of the season, Lokomotiv defeated Andorra 93-82 and last week left Lithuania victorious after defeating the local team at the stadium of Lietkabelis (84-85).
Boulogne has the coach of the National Team of France, capable Vincent Collet, at its bench. He has started the season positively, evident by the 5-1 record and the top position in the French League. In the Eurocup, Boulogne lost in the opening match at the Turk Telekom stadium (73-65), while last week, they beat Slask in a rather challenging game (86-83). American guard Will Cummings had 17 points. Cummings returns to Russia today as an opponent of Kuban after wearing this jersey in the previous two years. So, this is an extraordinary game for him.
