Euroleague Basketball has announced the following schedule changes for Round 5 of the 2020-21 7DAYS EuroCup Regular Season.
• Nanterre 92 vs. Frutti Extra Bursaspor, originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday, October 27, has been suspended. Nanterre 92 requested the suspension of the game due to the impossibility of the team having a minimum of eight players on the Authorisation List fit to play.
• Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana vs. Promitheas Patras, originally scheduled to be played on Wednesday, October 28, has been suspended. Promitheas requested the suspension of the game due to local legislation imposing quarantine measures on the team, which leaves it without the minimum eight players on the Authorisation List fit to play.
• Herbalife Gran Canaria vs. Dolomiti Energia Trento, originally scheduled to be played on Wednesday, October 28, has been suspended. Dolomiti requested the suspension of the game due to multiple COVID-19 positive cases that do not allow the team to have a minimum eight players on the Authorisation List fit to play.
Following the modification of the Special Regulations due to COVID-19, approved by the ECA Shareholders Executive Board, each game can be rescheduled up to three times, if there are available dates. Euroleague Basketball will coordinate with all teams the best options to reschedule their games. Alternative dates will be announced on official Euroleague Basketball platforms once confirmed.
