Douglas back from the dead. 
But why no J-Mac? Is she injured?  |
One of the Russians posted in our game thread she was injuried but didn't have further details. |

| Yep, Meka missed a EuroLeague game due to injury that supposedly wasn't really bad but they let her sit for the game to be safe.

According to the CSKA site Igor expected JMac to play but she told them no before the game.

| Today is not enough Makkarvil. Not looking to a day before stretching, warm up with it all. I count on it, but before the match, she said that he could not play. Petrakova and Lixin tried, but their efforts are not enough to compensate for this loss. At two, they have only one choice. |

I heard it's a pulled hamstring and that she is has back problems. |

| The re-occurring back issues are really not a good sign...something that has always worried me about having the Lib so dependent on her.
