Having already qualified for the Top 16, Cibona Zagreb kept strengthening its roster right up to the end of 2008 with the announcement on Wednesday that it had signed swingman Alan Anderson, who showed flashes of brilliance last season in the Euroleague.

Olympiacos big man Ioannis Bourousis will be sidelined for 40 days due to a problem in his left knee. Bourousis experienced some pain during the last Euroleague game versus Cibona Zagreb, but began to feel better afterward. However his situation worsened on Monday and he was diagnosed with a rupture of the internal meniscus in his left knee. Team doctors determined that he will undergo surgery on Wednesday.
