However, it seems that the Montenegrin forward might be available for Olimpia Milano as they try to bring home the second title of the season after the Super Cup in September.

Mirotic has been recovering from a thigh injury and could return for coach Ettore Messina in the tournament that will be held in Turin.

"Nikola Mirotic will be in Turin with the team, but the possibility that he will play will be the subject of a last-minute decision," the club announced.

Josh Nebo and Fabien Causeur, who returned to action in the last league game in Sassari, were left out, while Ousmane Diop was included in the squad.

Mirotic's last appearance was on January 19 in Milan's loss to Venezia, He is having an incredible season so far, averaging 18.3 points per game with 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists in 28.5 minutes and 40.0% from three-point range in the EuroLeague.
