Let’s start with the most important thing: Joshiah Gray and Chris Horton have already passed a medical examination and held their first training session with the team. Both newcomers are in good physical shape. Horton is happy to bang from above whenever possible, and Gray is not inferior to any of the partners in sprint races. There is a possibility that their debut in the form of “Loko” will take place tomorrow, in the game with CSKA.
Recall that the Krasnodar club organizes for its fans a collective viewing of this supermatch in the Grey Bear restaurant. The details are HERE. The match starts at 19.30, broadcasts will be available on lokobasket.com , VTB United League website, TV Start TV channel and federal Match TV. Also, a significant landing of Loko fans will support the team live.
There are no injured or sick people in the Loko squad – with the exception of Egor Sychkov, who did not go on a three-match tour. Thus, the team currently has 13 players: forwards Andrey Martyuk, Darral Willis, Dmitry Uzinsky, Anton Kvitkovskikh, Ilya Sorokin, Chris Horton; center Kirill Yelatontsev; defenders Jaylen Barford, Alexander Shcherbenev, Zakhar Vedishchev, Vladislav Yemchenko, Ivan Paunich, Joshiah Gray. Who will get into the application for the match with CSKA – the coaching staff will determine tomorrow.
Before the match, a ceremony honoring Nikita Morgunov and Alexey Savrasenko will take place. Both famous centers are winners of Eurobasket 2007 and Honored Masters of Sports of the Russian Federation. And both have defended the colors of Lokomotiv Kuban in the past.
