  • Lithuanian basketball club Lietkabelis may face a different opponent in the upcoming European Cup season due to financial difficulties faced by Monaco.
  • Monaco, which previously played in the EuroLeague, has lost its place in the top European tournament and is now uncertain about its participation in the European Cup.
  • Hamburg Towers is considered the most likely replacement if Monaco is disqualified, potentially altering Lietkabelis's schedule.

Lithuanian basketball club Lietkabelis could see its European Cup opponent change due to the financial struggles of French club Monaco. Monaco, a former EuroLeague participant, is facing significant financial problems that have already cost it a spot in the top European league. Now, its participation in the European Cup is also in doubt.

Despite being taken over by former NBA player Jamala Mashburn, Monaco has not yet received permission to compete in the top French league. The club can appeal this decision, but the uncertainty casts a shadow over its European Cup prospects. According to the current schedule, Monaco is Lietkabelis's first opponent in the European Cup on September 30th.

If Monaco is indeed disqualified, German club Hamburg Towers is seen as the most probable replacement. This potential change could impact Lietkabelis's upcoming season, as they would face a different opponent than initially planned.
