Jonathan Motley, a former player for Hapoel Tel Aviv, has been left in Belgrade and did not travel with his current team, Crvena Zvezda, for their EuroLeague game against Olympiacos. This decision comes as Motley has fallen to third in the team's center hierarchy, behind Abouke Izonudo and the center. Motley has struggled since the season's start, recording a -13 efficiency rating in 14:08 minutes against Zalgiris Kaunas. After a minor injury, he returned for the game against Bayern Munich, scoring two points in 14:04 minutes, committing three fouls, and shooting 1-of-4 from the field. Serbian media reports indicate that the team has been intensely working on the center's visa, given his Cameroonian nationality. Crvena Zvezda's coach, Yvan Navarro, stated before the game, "We are facing the best rebounding team in the EuroLeague, the team that generates the most points from second chances. We will need to stay focused for 40 minutes."
