Baskonia (9-7) seeks another road win with a trip to Milan (6-10), which is looking to end a tough 2023 on a high by bouncing back to winning ways.
Game Notes: Milan vs. Baskonia



The game features the league’s most prolific three-point shooters with Markus Howard (3.6 triples per game) taking on Milan’s leader Shavon Shields (3.2) But Howard isn’t Baskonia’s backcourt dynamo, with Codi Miller-McIntyre coming 1 rebound short of a triple-double to power last week’s victory at Efes and now averaging 10.8 assists in his last four games. Milan will hope to have perennial deep threat Billy Baron finding his best form after he made a relatively quiet return from a long-term injury last week.
