Note: The game would have been played on 7 October. The Cedevita Olimpija entire roster had to remain in quarantine due to the requirement of the National Institute of Public Health of Slovenia after one of its players had tested positive for COVID-19. On 9 October, the Euroleague Basketball Disciplinary Judge has declared 20–0 win to Frutti Extra Bursaspor.[47] Ten day late, Euroleague Basketball confirmed the modification of the Special Regulations and removed the 20-0 results for all games.[48] Afterwards, the game was rescheduled to 9 November 2020. Due to having missed two games each so far due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Olimpija and Bursaspor made the rare agreement to play this Round 2 game, which was supposed to have been in Ljubljana, on the court of the visiting team. One result of that decision is that they will play again in 48 hours at the same arena, Tofaş Nilüfer Salonu, on Wednesday in their regularly scheduled Round 7 game in Group D.
