Following a narrow defeat to their fierce rivals Partizan in the derbi, the Red Star basketball players made a hasty exit from the arena without addressing the press. The match saw Red Star nearly closing a 20-point deficit, only to lose in the final minutes. The players left the arena together, with only Dejan Davidovac briefly acknowledging the media and refusing to make a statement.

The loss means Partizan now holds a 1-0 lead heading into the next match, scheduled for Thursday at 8 PM at the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall, where Red Star will have home advantage.

After the game, none of the Red Star players spoke to the media. They walked out together, with most showing little interest in engaging with the press, except for a couple who made brief statements to the club's sponsor before boarding a bus and leaving.
