MOSCOW (Euroleague) - CSKA Moscow will resume their quest for a third Euroleague crown in the past four years on Thursday night but it remains to be seen if captain Matjaz Smodis will play against Partizan in Game 2 of their Quarter-Final tie.

Smodis found it difficult to run on Wednesday and practiced on his own.
His status is questionable, according to CSKA Moscow boss Ettore Messina.
