Trouble at Hapoel Tel Aviv?

Sport5 says Dimitris Itoudis and Vasilije Micic barely speak any more. They used to be close. Sources around the club say the relationship isn't what it was and you can feel it inside the team.

Owner Ofer Yannay called it a false story. He hit back on X and pointed the finger at Maccabi.

Hapoel have won four EuroLeague games in a row.

Meridian Sport reports the NBA sees six current EuroLeague clubs in its plans for NBA Europe.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Fenerbahce, Bayern, ASVEL and Panathinaikos.

No Olympiacos, no Milan, no Zvezda or Partizan.

It comes on the day Chus Bueno said the owner clubs are open to a deal, but want to go in together.

Zalgiris have made 19 of their 28 corner threes this season. That's 67.9%, the best in the EuroLeague by a distance. The league average from the corners is 39.8%.

Next best is Baskonia at 52.9%. Sterling Brown alone is 7 of 9 from there.

Partizan come to Kaunas tomorrow. They are 7 of 24 from the corners.

Each block on the chart is one three-point attempt. Orange went in.

Tomas Masiulis says Keenan Evans showed only about 60% of his capabilities in the 91-74 win over Virtus.

Evans finished with 4 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The Zalgiris coach told 15min he has no restrictions and can play 20 minutes.

Maccabi Tel Aviv are set to move their EuroLeague home games to Limassol, per Cypriot outlet Protathlima.

The venue would be the Spyros Kyprianou arena, about 8,000 seats. Maccabi currently host in Belgrade. They still hope to get back to Israel.

Baskonia have lost the third quarter in all 8 EuroLeague games this season.

Every other team has won at least one.

Add them up and it's 157-198 after half-time. Minus 41.

The first quarter isn't much better. Minus 45, lost 6 of 8.

The second and fourth quarters? Level. 0 and plus 2.

1-7 so far. The damage comes straight after tip-off and straight after the break.

Valencia will be without Nikola Mirotic at the Palau on Friday.

The club have confirmed a muscle injury in his left adductor. He felt it in his thigh against Fenerbahce on Tuesday and couldn't finish the game.

He'll miss the next few games. No return date yet. Nate Reuvers is out too.

[BasketScore.net @basketscore_net]

Barcelona are short of point guards for Valencia.

Juan Núñez has sprained his right ankle and will be out for about 10 days, SPORT reports. Umoja Gibson is a doubt after the hard knock to his knee in Munich.

That could leave Justin Robinson as the only fit point guard for Friday's game at the Palau.

EuroLeague CEO Chus Bueno told EFE the league goes to 24 teams next season, split into two conferences.

The 13 owner clubs will decide in the next month or two which candidates move towards franchise status.

"Maybe eight franchises won't be born this summer." Clubs that aren't ready yet could get an invitation instead.

He called Valencia a model club and said Abu Dhabi could have a franchise by 2030.

[BasketScore.net @basketscore_net]

Antonio Blakeney scored 35 points in 22 minutes and 12 seconds against Anadolu Efes on Wednesday.

No EuroLeague player has got to 35 in fewer minutes since 2000. The quickest before was Evan Fournier, 36 in 23:25 for Olympiacos in March.

8 of 9 from three. Hapoel won 118-88.

Jabari Parker is in talks with Baskonia.

Xavi Ballesteros of L'Esportiu reports Parker seems to have a deal with the Vitoria club. Encestando says the talks are on and that Parker now has a Cotonou passport, so he wouldn't take a non-EU spot in the ACB.

Partizan and Parker split by mutual agreement last week. Baskonia need help badly.

[BasketScore.net @basketscore_net]

Patty Mills says he did talk to Partizan before he joined ASVEL.

"I had some talks. I was open to all options and tried to weigh up everything I had," he told Mozzart Sport.

Last night he helped ASVEL come back from 11 down late to beat Partizan 82-75. Now he says he can't wait to play in Serbia.

Tension on the Olympiacos bench in Istanbul.

Late in the third quarter, Sasha Vezenkov had words with assistant coach Christos Papas, then with Georgios Bartzokas, per SDNA. It carried on into the next timeout.

Bartzokas left him out to start the fourth. He only came back with 1:45 left.

Olympiacos still won 81-73 at Beşiktaş without Montero, Fournier, Dorsey and Milutinov. Vezenkov was their top scorer with 16.

Baskonia made a big offer to Maccabi Tel Aviv for Roman Sorkin. Maccabi said no.

Rotem Feldberg of Sport5 reports it.

Sorkin signed a new deal with Maccabi until 2030 last month. He's averaging 10.4 points in the EuroLeague so far this season.

[BasketScore.net @basketscore_net]

Maccabi are in advanced talks with Killian Hayes and hope to bring him to Israel on Friday, according to Efrat Amorban of Ynet.
