Besiktas overcame injuries to triumph at Joventut

Besiktas Emlakjet Istanbul took to the Palau Olimpic de Badalona court to face Joventut Badalona with two important absences. The Turkish side was missing captain Egehan Arna as well as summer signing Matt Mitchell, both of whom are sidelined through injuries. Things got worse for the guests just a minute and a half into the second quarter when Yannick Kraag accidentally elbowed Besiktas star Derek Needham, who was taken to the locker room to receive medical assistance. According to Besiktas head coach Dusan Alimpijevic, Needham suffered a broken nose. He did not return for the remainder of the game.
