#2. Ronnie Harrell Jr. (6'7''-SF-1996, played in 2018-19, plays in Greece) contributed to an easy victory against the seventh-ranked Mykonou (2-3) 78-61 in the Greek GBL in Saturday night's game. He scored 8 points. Aris Midea Thessaloniki (2-4) is placed 11th in the GBL. But the season just started, so everything may happen.

Sternicki's contribution was not very remarkable in Saturday's game. He scored only 3 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. WKS Slask Wroclaw was edged83-80 on the road by the second-ranked Wilki Morskie. It was WKS Slask Wroclaw's first loss after three consecutive victories. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen.
