LIVE STREAM: Leicester Riders vs Dinamo Sassari (FIBA Europe Cup) – 7:30pm

By Sam Neter on November 7, 2018

Watch Leicester Riders take on Dinamo Sassari on the road in the FIBA Europe Cup live on Wednesday evening (7:30pm tip).

Riders will be short-handed – without Americans DeAndre Burnett and JR Holder, along with dual passport holder Kiefer Douser – after all three have suffered injuries, making the task even tougher. It is a must-win game, as Leicester need to win all three remaining games to have a chance of advancing.

Riders will look for their first win in the competition, as they are in Group H with Hungarian side Szolnoki Olaj, Falco Vulcano and Dinamo Sassari, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the Second Round.

The BBL champions dropped into the group phase of the competition following a two-legged defeat against Bakken Bears in the Basketball Champions League qualifiers.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
