However, the first game of the Finnish squad (vs Bulgaria) coincides with the UnicajaCSKA Moscow game this Friday, so it is unlikely that the guard can play in it.

On the other hand, Unicaja argues that it has no decision-making power in this matter since it is up to Salin to answer the call for his selection, as mentioned on Spanish newspaper “Dario Sur“. If the guard wants to play, he could do it, although if he does not play the CSKA game, he will have to face the consequences, since he has a contract with Unicaja.

The Sports Minister of Finland argues in the letter sent to Unicaja the importance that basketball has in his country. “Now that we celebrate the centenary of Finland’s independence and our basketball is growing to the limits that we had never experienced, everyone starts talking about it. Children start coming to the courts and everyone wants to be the new Markkanen “, he explained.
