Bitci Baskonia coach Neven Spahija underwent new tests on Thursday that confirmed the positive result for coronavirus and will not lead his team against Barça.
The Croatian coach has been isolated at his home since last Tuesday, December 28, after testing positive for antigens and later negative for PCR, which prevented him from directing the Vitoria team against Casademont Zaragoza.
Spahija is in permanent communication with the Barça medical services, following the sanitary protocol established in these cases.
The Balkan coach’s assistant, David Gil, will coach Baskonia for the second consecutive time.
