The 7DAYS EuroCup Regular Season Round 8 game between JL Bourg en Bresse and Umana Reyer Venice, which was originally scheduled to be played on Tuesday, November 17, has been suspended. Venice requested the suspension of the game due to multiple COVID-19 positive cases that do not allow the team to have a minimum eight players on the Authorisation List fit to play.

Following the modification of the Special Regulations due to COVID-19, approved by the ECA Shareholders Executive Board, each game can be rescheduled up to three times, if there are available dates.
