During the presentation of new coach Dragan Sakota, Crvena Zvezda president Nebojsa Covic has clarified the situation related to James Gist, who has missed both Euroleague’s games this week vs Alba and Zalgiris.

“Gist stayed in Belgrade on Monday and he was there this whole week, training individually. He had disciplinary proceedings for being late to the airport for the game against Efes. When that was done, the player is obligated to give a statement. That didn’t happen, Monday was the deadline and so he stayed. He received a warning and that is behind us now”, Covic has said.
