EA7 Emporio Armani Milan star newcomer Shabazz Napier is set to make his EuroLeague debut in Tuesday's Round 22 game against Cazoo Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, the Italian team officially announced.

Milan says that the club has finalized the procedure to register Napier in the EuroLeague competition.

"Napier had just one team practice, but we will use him, hoping for some minutes in a position where we need players badly," coach Ettore Messina said ahead of the game.

However, veteran Nicolo Melli is out for tomorrow's match vs. Baskonia due to a muscular problem.

The 32-year-old big man might recover for the second game of the double-round week against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade.

Melli averages 7.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 11.0 PIR over 21 EuroLeague games this season.

Milan welcomes Baskonia on Tuesday at 19:00 CET and Red Star on Thursday at 20:30 CET.

Emporio Armani sit at the bottom of the standings with 6 wins and 15 losses.
