An incredible night for all of Red Star, as they manage to beat the reigning champion, Real Madrid on home court of the Pionir Hall. The Belgrade volcano was sure to give the hosts an upper hand, while Quincey Miller, Maik Zirbes and the team’s youngest members have done the unthinkable. Crvena zvezda’s victory came as a well deserved reward after a strong group effort, that managed to neutralise even players such as Sergio Rodríguez and Gustavo Ayon.

Germany’s strong center, Maik Zirbes is forced to miss the upcoming European Basketball Championship, due to an ankle injury that occurred during a friendly match against Letonia. The interval needed in order for the injury to heal properly is about six weeks long. Nevertheless, Zirbes will be thoroughly examined in the days that follow, and the severity of the injury, as well as the length of the recovery, will be known next week.

His manager, M. Ražnatović has confirmed that the player won’t be able to take part in the National Team’s efforts on the Eurobasket. It is also believed that the Zirbes will be ready by the time the new league season starts. He continues to play for the Belgrade’s red and whites, BC Crvena zvezda.
