Crushed by Debut, Motley Seeks Redemption Against Hapoel Tel Aviv
Crvena Zvezda coach Ivan Navaro described new signing Jontay Porter as "devastated" following his historically poor EuroLeague debut. Porter registered a performance index rating of -13 in the team's loss to Zalgiris, committing six turnovers and four offensive fouls. "He probably slept the worst of anyone in the city that night," Navaro stated, adding, "but it's not about how many times you fall, it's about your character and how you get back up."
Navarro confirmed Porter has trained well since the disappointing outing and is expected to play against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Tuesday. The team is facing a tough road trip to start their EuroLeague season, having already lost their opener to Bayern Munich. Hapoel Tel Aviv also began their EuroLeague campaign with a surprising loss.
Adding to Crvena Zvezda's challenges, key player Chima Moneke is questionable for the upcoming game due to a minor issue that surfaced during Sunday's practice. New acquisition Patrick Baldwin Jr., who missed the Zalgiris game, is also uncertain to play. A decision on Moneke's availability will be made before tip-off.
