On the last day of the regular season, Olimpia Milano is preparing to face Vanoli Cremona away, with the aim of winning to maintain at least second place in the Serie A standings.
The Milanese team is also hoping for an unexpected misstep from Virtus Bologna, playing at home against Trento, to take first place and ensure home advantage for the entire duration of the playoffs.
For Vanoli, already certain of salvation, the match represents the opportunity to close positively in front of their fans after a good season.
For its part, Olimpia Milano enthusiastically welcomes the return of Nikola Mirotic to the team, who was absent from the last Euroleague match. The return of the Montenegrin is fundamental for the team, which tries to bring him back to his best form in view of the championship playoffs.
Maodo Lo will also be available, but coach Ettore Messina is faced with the need to make important choices regarding the turnover of foreigners: Alex Poythress seems to be one of the players destined to remain out, with Denzel Valentine and Johannes Voigtmann vying for one place, while Lo could be the third excluded. Final decisions, as usual, will only be revealed at kick-off.
