As it was made publicly known today, Dusko Ivanovic' mother passed away during the morning of Monday due to natural causes, just four days before Christmas.
It is certainly a tough time for coach Ivanovic. Both his club Caja Laboral and the ACB through its president, Eduardo Portela, have expressed their sorrow and offered their condolences to Ivanovic.
"Losing a loved one is always a traumatic moment. We at ACB would like to offer our support and respect to Dusko and his family" said Portela.
TalkBasket in turn offers their condolences to coach Dusko Ivanovic.
