Fit-again Rasheed Sulaimon will pose a major threat, having scored 22 points when Wolves beat Cedevita 78-86 in Round 5. After losing its last three games by 5 points or less, the visiting team will hope the experience of Jaka Blazic will help finally seal a long-desired first win.
Zoran Martic, Cedevita Olimpija head coach
"Even though we have no chance of making the playoffs anymore, I don't want to go into the middle of the game like we have nothing to lose. We can lose the chance to confirm the victory against Red Star, we can also lose our solid form. The aim is to take a step forward in the things we are doing, to get the most out of this match."
Vukasin Todorovic, Cedevita Olimpija player
"I am glad and happy that I even stepped on the court on Saturday in Tivoli, but at the same time I am aware that I still have a lot of work to do if I want to get another minute in the upcoming games. Wolves are an unfavorable opponent, as they proved in the first match in Stožice, when they recorded a victory. We know that they enter the match with a series of defeats, but at the same time we are aware that they will be motivated to record a victory on their home floor. We will have to be maximally focused in the game in defense and in offense if we want to return to Ljubljana with a victory."
