EuroLeague season preparations intensify for Crvena zvezda and Partizan

The new EuroLeague season is approaching, with several major clubs preparing for their opening matches. Crvena zvezda is set to face Žalgiris in Belgrade. Žalgiris has confirmed a contract extension for playmaker Najdžel Vilijams-Gos, while Crvena zvezda's coach Ibon Navaro reported that Semi Odželej will be ready for the opener, though Nikola Đurišić remains sidelined as he has not yet trained with the team.

Žalgiris player Najdžel Vilijams-Gos expressed respect for Navaro and noted the team's motivation despite a shorter preparation period. Meanwhile, Partizan is preparing to host Milano in the EuroLeague before moving their ABA League home games to the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall (Pionir). Analysts from BasketNews have offered mixed outlooks for Partizan, suggesting they could potentially reach the play-ins if they secure further reinforcements.

In other EuroLeague news, Nikola Milutinov is traveling with Olympiacos for their match against Baskonia, signaling a potential return to competitive play following injury concerns.
