Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet strolled past SC Derby, 105-77, in Aleksandar Nikolic Hall and went up to 22-7 in the 2024-25 installment of the AdmiralBet ABA League.
With one game left in the Regular Season of the regional league, the team coached by Giannis Sfairopoulos is already locked into the fourth seed of the playoff bracket. In a best-of-three series, Cedevita Olimpija or Igokea m:tel will be the opponent in the Quarterfinals, with Buducnost VOLI emerging as the most likely possible rival in the Semifinals.
In addition to Joel Bolomboy being ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season, Dejan Davidovac, Branko Lazic, and Milos Teodosic also missed the postponed Round 27 affair.
Looking to move to Kansas State and the NCAA, Andrej Kostic logged five minutes, squeezing in eight points with 3/5 field goals. The 18-year-old guard also dished out one assist in his best performance with the senior squad.
Filip Petrusev took over the second quarter, pushing his side into a commanding position. Ending up with 17 points, he shared a game-high with Zoran Nikolic and Erick Neal of the visitors.
