Keravnos Strovolou defeated by Nancy in FIBA Europe Cup
On November 3, 2026, the Cypriot team Keravnos Strovolou suffered an 86-73 away defeat against French side SLUC Nancy during the fifth matchday of Group D in the FIBA Europe Cup. The game, held at the Palais des Sports Jean Weille, leaves Keravnos with a current record of three wins and two losses.
Keravnos showed competitive spirit in the first half, remaining within striking distance until the second quarter concluded with a 42-38 scoreline. Despite early efforts from players like Flowers, Michail, and Grimes, the team struggled in the second half, allowing Nancy to extend their lead to double digits by the 26th minute. The Cypriot club attributed part of their second-half performance to physical fatigue following a demanding 17-hour journey from Nicosia to Nancy on Monday. The match also marked the debut of the newest addition to the Keravnos roster, Serbian guard Vasilije Pusica.
This result marks a significant setback for Keravnos in their European campaign, as they continue their competition in the FIBA Europe Cup group stage. No further investigations or legal actions are currently associated with this event, which remains a standard part of the ongoing basketball tournament schedule.
