In a tough competition, Laurent Legname’s players failed to avoid a setback on German soil. Facing Bonn, winner of last season’s edition, JDA DIjon lost (89-74) and is already eliminated even before hosting Galatasaray next Wednesday.
The absence of his magical elf, David Holston, was too hard to fill. Ahmad Caver, also absent as leader, was also lacking in the organization of the Burgundian attacks. With this fourth setback in five matches, Dijon is now assured of not seeing the next round of this competition. On Saturday, they will play the quarter-final of the Coupe de France against Pau (now in Pro B). Currently eleventh in Betclic Elite, they are still in the race to qualify for the play-off, something to brighten up this end of the season.
