Winless Cedevita (0-4) will aim to kickstart its season with a visit from a Wolves (1-2) team that did just that last week, picking up its first victory by outlasting Besiktas in a thriller. Tre'Shawn Thurman was key to that success, taking the weekly MVP award after netting 31 points, and slowing down the dynamic guard will be a key task for Cedevita. The hosts will be missing one of their backcourt leaders, Justin Cobbs, through injury, so an even heavier burden will fall on Klemen Prepelic, who stepped up with 16 points and 12 assists on his debut last week.
Pre-game quotes: Cedevita vs. Wolves

Andrea Turchetto, Cedevita Olimpija assistant coach
"We're going up against a very good team, one of the best three-point shooters in the competition. They score a lot of points from long range, so we'll have to be careful. At the same time, the Wolves are the second-best rebounding team on offense, so this is also one of the things that we will have to control. We must continue to work and improve day by day. We are working on our chemistry, Klemen Prepelič is also getting along better and better with his teammates from training to training. We are working a lot, and luckily the players are always ready to work, and with a positive approach we do the right things."
Shawn Jones, Cedevita Olimpija player
"We have a tough match ahead of us against a demanding opponent on both sides of the court. We know that Wolves are an extremely talented team that shoots very well from distance. We are preparing for our opponents, and our task is to stick to the agreements from the locker room and try to stop their offense."
