A key figure for the French team is Joffrey Lauvergne, who has six consecutive double-digit scoring games. He will look to dominate the paint against Nicolo Melli, who powered the win at Barcelona with 16 points and 6 rebounds. That game also saw the best performance in a Milan uniform by Devon Hall with 21 points on 8-for-10 field goal shooting. He'll look to outshoot dangerous ASVEL gunner Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who has nine straight double-digit scoring games.
Ettore Messina, Milan head coach
"We face a competitive team, which has always been in the game until the end, winning some games and losing others with minimum deficit. They are very athletic, have a lot of size and quality among the big men, they are well-organized, so we'll need to pay great attention to details. We are happy to welcome back the National Team coach, Gianmarco Pozzecco, who helped us win the Italian championship two years ago."
Shavon Shields, Milan player
"We are playing an athletic team, better than its record indicates, with several experienced players and well-coached. Our goal is to keep building over the last few games, keep our momentum going and move another step forward in the right direction."
