Basketball players of Red Star Meridianbet were defeated by Real Madrid at home with a score of 72-58 in the 15th round of the EuroLeague. The team was without Shabazz Napier, and no one commented on his absence before the match.
Coach of Red Star, Ioannis Sfairopoulos, revealed the reason for Napier’s absence in the press conference after the game. “We tried to compete with Real. We rotated players, changed defenses, but very little went well for us. Why didn’t Shabazz play? He is in negotiations with another club and requested not to play against Real,” said Sfairopoulos.
