Daniel Hackett is considered probable for the EuroLeague Regular Season Round 20 affair between CSKA Moscow and KIROLBET Baskonia, the Russian club informed in its official match preview. The 32-year-old guard was sidelined with an index finger injury since early January.
He was averaging 8.2 points, 2.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steal per appearance through 15 EuroLeague games before being added to Dimitris Itoudis’ injury list. His probable return for Friday’s contest strengthens the perimeter. However, Janis Strelnieks will remain out alongside Will Clyburn.
CSKA is up 13-6 in Europe’s premier club competition. Its upcoming rivals sitting at 7-12 will compete in Russia without Luca Vildoza and Patricio Garino.
