Partizan Mozzart Beta will face struggling Bayern Munich on the road in EuroLeague Round 8 (15/11) without the help of young Serbian center Balsa Koprivica.

As head coach Zeljko Obradovic confirmed, Koprivica has fallen ill and won’t be traveling with the squad to Germany.

With Koprivica out, it’s expected that newly signed Bruno Caboclo will make his EuroLeague debut after he notched his first minutes in the ABA League defeat to Igokea.

Koprivica played four games in the EuroLeague this season, averaging less than 10 minutes on the court, with 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks.

Caboclo never played in the top continental competition but recorded 11 appearances in EuroCup last season, averaging an impressive 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in Ratiopharm Ulm’s uniform.
