ABA League

Regular Season Round 5: Buducnost - Zadar 98-87

Date: November 1, 2025
Rather predictable result in Podgorica where first ranked Montenegrin Buducnost (4-1) defeated 4th placed Croatian Zadar (1-4) 98-87 on Saturday. The best player for the winners was American forward Juwan Morgan (203-1997, college: Indiana) who scored 20 points. Nigerian-American Rasheed Sulaimon (194-1994, college: Maryland) chipped in 15 points and 5 rebounds. Buducnost's coach used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Lovro Mazalin (204-1997) produced 23 points (on 11-of-14 shooting from the field) and Montenegrin point guard Vladimir Mihailovic (193-1990) added 15 points respectively for the guests. Five Buducnost and four Zadar players scored in double figures. Buducnost have a solid series of four victories in a row. Defending Montenegrin champion maintains first place with 4-1 record, which they share with Partizan. Zadar lost fourth consecutive game. Defending Croatian champion dropped to the second position with four games lost. Buducnost will meet league's leader Crvena zvezda in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Zadar will play against the league's leader Bosna and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
