Crvena Zvezda start preseason without six players

New coach Ibon Navarro confirmed the team began preparations without six players on national-team duty: Ognjen Dobrić, Nikola Đurišić, Dejan Davidovac, Ebuka Izundu, Chima Moneke and David Krämer. They will join gradually ahead of the EuroLeague opener vs Žalgiris on September 24.

What it means

• Six regulars absent for national-team commitments at the start of preseason
• Coach Navarro says young players will help and minutes will be managed to avoid injuries
• EuroLeague opener vs Žalgiris in Belgrade on September 24

Model read

The absence of six key players weakens Crvena Zvezda's preparation and early-season cohesion, though the impact on the competitive opener is moderate as they are expected to return before the EuroLeague start.
