Ahead of a crucial EuroLeague derby, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade surprisingly falls to Mega MIS Belgrade in the ABA League. Despite a comeback effort, a miraculous ending led by Uros Trifunovic’s unlucky tip resulted in a loss.

Disappointed head coach Zeljko Obradovic faced questions about potential new signings following the team’s struggling start to the season.

“I would very much like those who are in the team to be that reinforcement. [I’d like] them to shake their heads and start playing basketball. And to understand how much these people who were in the hall tonight, whom I thank for coming, how much they love this club and how much they care about this club,” Obradovic said.

“I think this is much more important than any reinforcement,” Zeljko continued. “I have no idea if there will be any reinforcements. We’ve been dealing with this game lately, and I’m neither in the business nor do I have the time for it. At home, I deal with the team and with all these horrors that I see.”
