The standings of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague left without changes.
13 clubs' representatives, who participated in the voting process, decided to go with the current classification system, according to BasketNews sources.
EuroLeague accepted the standings, where all of the results against Russian teams are canceled, scrapping both wins or losses against CSKA Moscow, UNICS Kazan, and Zenit St Petersburg.
The final EuroLeague standings will be counted with 28 games for all squads.

This option will be approved only if all Russian teams are removed from this season's competition. The deadline for the Russian clubs' suspension is March 21st.
The current option, in which results against Russian teams are scrapped, gave a significant advantage to some teams. For example, FC Bayern Munich, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, and Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz became the biggest winners.
We remind you that the suggested alternative looked like this:
- Previous results against Russian clubs would have left as they are
- Future games would have been considered as simply canceled, meaning the clubs won't receive technical wins 20:0
- The positions in the standings would have been decided by winning percentage, not win/loss record
