The Ukrainian did not participate in the final match against Olympiakos, not being listed in the lineup. In the semifinal, he played 5 minutes against Dubai.
By the way, the International Basketball Federation lifted part of the sanctions on Russians. World basketball lifted the ban on participation in tournaments under its umbrella for Russian and Belarusian players. Coaches and officials were also reinstated from the ban.
As a reminder, earlier Dnipro refused to participate in European cups. The Ukrainian champion was supposed to start in the Cup of Europe.
However, changing the tournament format made participation of the national powerhouse impossible.
