Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv vs. Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, Regular Season Round 19 game, suspended

The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season Round 19 game Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv vs. Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, originally scheduled to be played on Thursday January 6, has been suspended. Baskonia requested the suspension due to local legislation imposing quarantine measures on the team after several team members tested positive for COVID-19, which leaves the team without the minimum eight players on the Authorization List fit to play.

Following 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. Euroleague Basketball will coordinate with the affected teams the best options to reschedule the games. Alternative dates will be announced on official Euroleague Basketball platforms.
