Devin Booker will not be back to action, missing the whole Turkish Airlines EuroLeague quarterfinals series against Olympiacos, but Fenerbahce BEKO will fight until the end.
As coach Dimitris Itoudis said: “We play the ultimate game 5. We know it’s going to be tough. Still, Olympiacos has the home-court advantage and is the favorite. But we proved as a team that we have a plan, we have a wish and we want to fight till the end. Knowing that Olympiacos is a really good team, especially at home, it’s really difficult to win. But as I said, we are very decisive and very determined.”
Scottie Wilbekin wasn’t used in Game 4, despite being registered for the game, so his presence on the court is possible, while there’s no word about the condition of Nemanja Bjelica who has played so far only seven EuroLeague games this season.
As Fenerbahce captain Melih Mahmutoglu added: “We have to forget the first four games. This will be the final one. We want to keep our toughness defensively and show a good performance on the offensive side as well. The support we received from our fans in the third and fourth games was incredible. They won’t be with us this time, but we will keep feeling their support. We will fight with our best and try to reach our goal.”
Tickets for the game were sold out in just minutes and no matter what, Tuesday will be a night to remember in the “Peace and Friendship” Stadium,
