  • Game to take place at the Volkswagen Arena, Istanbul (Turkiye).

Big Stakes for both teams in key matchup at the Volkswagen Arena 

VEF Riga are still alive in the BCL after a decisive double win over Tenerife and Cholet, enabling them to get the upper hand in the tiebreaker vs the French side. 

Darüssafaka has had to part ways with Mason Jones, Janis Timma, David McCormack, and Ridvan Oncel in recent weeks, and are on a three-game losing streak in the BCL. Another one will cost them play-ins qualification. 

If VEF can manage a third consecutive win, their first on the road, they will be in with a good chance of securing a second-place finish. 

Arnaldo Toro Barea, the Latvian team's rebound specialist, will be looking to grab 8+ rebounds for his fifth consecutive game. If he achieves that, he will join Octavious Ellis as the only player to do that in his first five games.
