Both teams are on seven-game winning streaks, with the Spanish team keeping alive its hopes of a two-top finish by overcoming London last week thanks to buzzer-beating heroics from Andres Feliz. His showdown with another of the competition’s best guards, TJ Shorts, is sure to provide thrills, as will the clash in the paint between in-form Leon Kratzer and veteran Ante Tomic.
Shannon Evans, Joventut guard
"Our chemistry is getting better every day. The team is playing hard, and doing it together is very important in a competition like this. We must stick together, be a group, be on the same page, and I think we will do good things. Paris is a great team. They lead the standings and play at home, they will want to protect their home court and be strong there. We have to be ready to play well and be tough, and if we do that, we will be alright. We have a team with a lot of talent, many players are able to have a great night every night, so we have to keep being a group, playing together. We have a lot of special players in this locker room and we can do great things together. I feel good. I am feeling very comfortable. I am enjoying basketball again. It was a hard year for me, first at Valencia and then in China. In 2024, I am just trying to enjoy basketball again and I am feeling very good right now."
