Nate Wolters, Arturas Gudaitis, Lefteris Mantzoukas, and Lefteris Bochoridis missed Tuesday's practice.

However, in contrast to Mantzoukas and Bochoridis, who have both been ruled out and didn't make Wednesday's practice, Gudaitis and Wolters might play in Thursday's game. The 29-year-old Lithuanian felt discomfort in his Achilles tendon.

Wolters suffers from a muscle spasm in his half, Mantzoukas has a contusion in his hip, and Bochoridis has discomfort in his adductor.

Asked about the problems he faces with injuries, coach Dejan Radonjic replied: "For this match, Bohoridis and Mantzoukas are out. For the rest of the players, we will decide on game day."

With Shabazz Napier closing in on deal with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, but Radonjic didn't refer to the former Zenit and NBA player. Nevertheless, he addressed the issue of strengthening the team's roster.

"Today, I can say that we are still in the market to add a player," he commented.
