Buducnost Voli faced some injury troubles recently which forced them to travel to Lithuania for the game against Zalgiris with a shorter roster than usual.
That also created some space for young players and one of them entered the history books. In fact, Fedor Zugic entered the game with 42 seconds remaining and became the youngest player in EuroLeague history debuting at 15 years and 157 days of age.

Before him, the honor belonged to Aleksandar Ugrinoski who was 15 years and 266 days old in his 2004 debut with Cibona. Along with Can Mutaf (Fenerbahce) and Mannu Markoishvili (Benetton), they are the only players who had less than 16 years of age in their debuts.
