Many players and coaches had a chance to catch up with former teammates around EuroLeague arenas this past week. Among them, and famous basketball coach John Calipari was excited to see his former University of Kentucky players Derek Willis and Alex Poythress exchange jerseys after their game in Milan.

**LENSES AND GOGGLES**: Markus Howard had a problem with his contact lens during a game and his teammate Chima Moneke might have a solution for him.

EuroLeague week on social media

Ergin Ataman is just the seventh head coach to reach 200 wins in the EuroLeague, while his Panathinaikos B.C. side is beginning to fire on all cylinders after a slow start to the season.

Ergin Ataman joins 200-win club as Panathinaikos B.C. starts to roll

Ergin Ataman added another milestone to his impressive Turkish Airlines EuroLeague career in Round 9 of the 2023-24 season, as Panathinaikos Athens stood strong with an impressive 90-76 victory over Virtus Segafredo Bologna. That triumph marked Ataman’s 200th win to date in the EuroLeague and it was also a performance that showed the new Panathinaikos project is starting to really roll.

Ataman joined an exclusive club of coaches with 200 EuroLeague wins, becoming just the seventh man to accomplish the feat. The all-time leader in wins is Zeljko Obradovic with 339, followed by Ettore Messina (302), Xavi Pascual (241), Pablo Laso (239), Dimitris Itoudis (217) and Dusko Ivanovic (206).

### Ataman’s journey to 200 wins

The 57-year-old Ataman, who is in his 17th season coaching the EuroLeague, reached that achievement of 200 wins in his 397th game as a head coach in the competition.

Altogether, 11 of his wins came with Montepaschi Siena (2002-03), 22 with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (2003-06), five with Fortitudo Bologna (2006-07), 10 in his first with Anadolu Efes Istanbul (2008-10), 30 with Galatasaray Istanbul (2013-15; 2016-17), 117 in his second spell at Efes (2017-23) and now five with Panathinaikos.

### Panathinaikos on the right track

Speaking after the Greens’ win against Virtus, which improved Panathinaikos’s record to 5-4 and was the team’s third straight victory, Ataman was particularly pleased with the entertaining style of basketball that was on show.

“I liked this game. \[It’s nice to get\] the 200th win like this and not how we played two days ago \[when we beat Zalgiris Kaunas, 73-71\],” said Ataman. “We played good basketball. Virtus is a very good team.

“Some parts of the game we played great defense. Offensively we moved the ball very smart, very well. It was one of our best games this season in the EuroLeague. I am proud of this 200th victory with good basketball.”

Panathinaikos Athens head coach Ergin Ataman reflects on his 200th win in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, as well as his team's win against Virtus Segafredo Bologna in Round 9 of the 2023-24 season.

Ataman interview after beating Virtus

The Turkish tactician arrived in Athens this offseason under plenty of pressure, having been tasked with replicating the project he undertook at Efes. In just a few years, Ataman transformed Efes into a EuroLeague superpower and won back-to-back EuroLeague crowns in 2021 and 2022.

After a few barren years at OAKA, Panathinaikos’s leadership came calling as the clubs wants to start winning again, having last reached the EuroLeague Playoffs in the 2018-19 season and won the last of its EuroLeague titles in the 2010-11 campaign.

### The fans are truly behind the team

In addition to Ataman, the club brought in some big-name new players and expectations immediately went through the roof. Fortunately, the fans are fully on board with the project and have come out in force to cheer on the Greens, be that at home or on the road.

After having won four of its last five games, a crowd of 13,852 took their seats at OAKA for Panathinaikos’s game against Virtus. And Ataman loved feeling the push of the supporters.

“I am very happy because the arena had \[13,000+\] fans. That is my dream, to have this atmosphere and start to win, start to have synergy with the fans and play basketball that the people enjoy,” Ataman said of the back-to-back crowds of more than 10,000 fans. 

“We didn’t just win the game, but I think all the supporters here enjoyed the game, especially the last quarter and my players’ hustle.”

Ataman knows better than most just how much those fans can give Panathinaikos a boost at OAKA, having been on the receiving end with his previous clubs. But now, if it wasn’t clear already, the Greens’ fans can feel that the Ataman era is already starting to take hold.

Beating an in-form Virtus, which had won six of its last seven games, has not been an easy task this season. However, Ataman also has the weapons to do just that.

One of those weapons is Mathias Lessort, the team’s French center who starred last season at Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade. Yet, Lessort was not aware that Ataman had just celebrated his 200th EuroLeague win as a head coach.

“Congratulations to him. That’s why he is here, because he’s a coach who knows how to win. We want to be a winning team, so having a coach who can win like this is amazing for us,” Lessort said.

Many wondered how quickly all the star pieces could click together. But just nine games into the season, Ataman is showing why he is one of the greatest.

Tarik Biberovic of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time after suffering a head injury during his team's Round 9 game against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in Belgrade, Serbia. 

Fenerbahce's Tarik Biberovic to miss time

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul forward [Tarik Biberovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tarik-biberovic/006961/) will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time after suffering a head injury during his team's Round 9 game against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in Belgrade, Serbia. After consulting the team's medical staff, Biberovic was placed into the proper protocol for a concussion.

Biberovic, 22, scored a career-high 18 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting in that game. He has averaged 9.7 points on 63.6% three-point shooting this season, his sixth in the EuroLeague with Fenerbahce.

Roll call, Rounds 8-9: Some players stepped into starring roles

### Shields paced Milan in double-round week

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan split its games during this double-round week in the 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season, but [Shavon Shields](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shavon-shields/007831/) shined in both contests. First, on Tuesday, in an [86-79 road loss against Virtus Segafredo Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-virtus-bologna-vs-olimpia-milano/), Shields netted 5-of-8 three-pointers on his way to a team-high 21 points. That was the third time this season that Shields scored more than 20, and in this contest he also collected 4 rebounds and 3 steals for a PIR of 22. Two days later, in [a home win over Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-olimpia-milano-vs-anadolu-efes-sk/), Shields posted 18 points, again a team best, while shooting 4-of-4 on twos and 3-of-6 on threes. He added 3 rebounds and 3 steals and finished with a 17 PIR.

### Fall's mountain of an effort

[Moustapha Fall](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/moustapha-fall/008811/) had big shoes to fill in the absence of fellow big man Nikola Milutinov, but Olympiacos Piraeus did not miss a beat, winning both of its games this week. The Reds’ center played 35 minutes in Belgrade [against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-maccabi-tel-aviv-bc-vs-olympiacos-bc/) on Tuesday and had an all-round performance with 10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block for a PIR of 15. On Thursday, in front of a passionate crowd at Peace and Friendship Stadium, Fall dominated [against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-olympiacos-bc-vs-kk-crvena-zvezda/) with 14 points, making 7-of-10 two-pointers, and pulled down a career-high 14 rebounds, including a career-best 7 on the offensive end. He also delivered 3 assists and 3 blocks and accumulated a PIR of 28.

### Jerian Grant’s all-round play

Panathinaikos Athens playmaker [Jerian Grant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jerian-grant/011204/) only made a total of 3 field goals on 10 attempts in two games combined this week, but he still averaged a PIR of 18.5 in those two wins for the Greens. It is because Grant did just about everything else on the court. Averaging just under 30 minutes per game, he posted 10 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in [a 73-71 win over Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-panathinaikos-bc-vs-zalgiris-kaunas/) in Round 8. Then, in Round 9, Grant followed it up with 7 points, 7 assists, 5 steals and a show-stopping block in Friday's [90-76 win over Virtus Segafredo Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-panathinaikos-athens-vs-virtus-segafredo-bologna/). Despite misfiring from the floor, Grant also found a way to get to the free-throw line, drawing a total of 7 fouls and taking 10 free-throw attempts. His contribution was huge as Panathinaikos improved to a 5-4 record.

### Howard scored 61 points this week

No player has been hotter this past week than [Markus Howard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/markus-howard/011948/), as the Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz shooting guard lit up the scoreboard in two wins for his team. Howard first scored 26 points in under 25 minutes, making 5-of-9 twos and 4-of-11 threes in a [94-71 thrashing of FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-saski-baskonia-vs-barca-basket/). Just 48 hours later, Howard followed up that performance in an [81-88 road win against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-ldlc-asvel-vs-saski-baskonia/), scoring a EuroLeague season-high and a career-best 35 points, while netting a personal best 8 triples on 13 attempts. Many of the shots Howard made hit nothing but the bottom of the net. It was another impressive display, having helped Baskonia to two victories and extended its winning streak to four games.

Markus Howard made 12 triples and scored 61 points in two games

### Luwawu-Cabarrot went to another level for ASVEL

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne may have gone 1-1 in the double-round week, [winning 68-73 at ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-alba-berlin-vs-ldlc-asvel/) on Wednesday before [losing 81-88 to Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-ldlc-asvel-vs-saski-baskonia/) on Friday, but [Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/timothe-luwawu-cabarrot/012080/) kept up his impressive level of performance. The 28-year-old Frenchman first scored a game-high 19 points against ALBA, as well as having 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, before posting 10 points, 4 rebounds, a joint round-high 8 assists and 1 steal against Baskonia. Ever since returning from injury in Round 6, with Gianmarco Pozzecco having replaced TJ Parker on ASVEL’s bench by that point, Luwawu-Cabarrot has shown himself to be a key player for the Italian head coach, and that was very much the case in this most recent double-round week.

Real Madrid Baloncesto has announced that Guerschon Yabusele will be out indefinitely due to a partial rupture of the internal lateral ligament in his left knee. 

Real Madrid Baloncesto's Guerschon Yabusele out indefinitely with knee injury

Real Madrid has confirmed that forward [Guerschon Yabusele](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/guerschon-yabusele/010357/) will be out indefinitely due to a partial rupture of the internal lateral ligament in his left knee.

The Frenchman underwent tests on Friday to determine the seriousness of the injury, with Yabusele having had some discomfort during [*Los Blancos*’ 91-73 Round 9 win against AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/euroleague-live-blog-real-madrid-baloncesto-vs-as-monaco-basket/) in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague one day prior.

In fact, Yabusele played just 12:26 in Round 9 against Monaco and didn’t step onto the WiZink Center court at all in the second half. He also missed Rounds 5 and 6 with an injury.

### A strong season so far by Yabusele

Yabusele is averaging the second-most minutes of any Real player so far this season in the EuroLeague at 23:33 per game, which is only behind guard Facu Campazzo’s 24:20. He is posting the third-most points on *Los Blancos*’ roster with 10.3 per game, while he is the team’s second-best rebounder with 5.0 boards per night.

Curiously, although those 10.3 points per game are Yabusele’s lowest since arriving at Real in the summer of 2021, his shooting percentages are the most accurate they have been. The 27-year-old is averaging 64.3% on two-pointers, 56.5% on triples, the fifth-best mark in the EuroLeague, and a perfect 100.0% from the free-throw line.

As such, this injury certainly comes as a blow for Real head coach Chus Mateo. *Los Blancos*, the reigning EuroLeague champions, have been incredibly impressive so far this season, having gone 9-0 to start the 2023-24 EuroLeague season.

### Who could step in for Yabusele?

In the absence of Yabusele, it is expected that the ‘4’ position will be occupied by Gabriel Deck or Mario Hezonja. The 19-year-old Eli Ndiaye, who started in the 2023 EuroLeague Championship Game, could be another option once he recovers from a facial injury he picked up in training.

Real will likely be without Yabusele for an extended period of time, so it will be important that Deck, Hezonja and, once he’s back, Ndiaye step up to make up for the France international’s absence.
