EuroLeague decided to scrap the results of the Russian clubs in case of the suspension of the three clubs for the season.
The fifteen shareholders, who participated in the voting process, decided to go with the current standings’ system, according to Robert Heusel.

The final standings will be counted in 28 games, with CSKA, UNICS and Zenit St.Petersburg out of the equation.
The deadline for the Russian clubs’ final suspension for the season is March 21st. The EuroLeague has already suspended Zenit, CSKA and UNICS for three weeks after the Russian invasion in Ukraine.
The EuroLeague thought about several instances of how the season will go on, including leaving the situation as it is regarding the results after the clubs’ suspension.
Future games will be cancelled, meaning the clubs won’t receive technical wins 20-0. Finally, they could go on finalizing the standings based on the win percentages.
As for now, with omitting the previous fixtures, Bayern Munich and Maccabi Tel Aviv will come out as the biggest winners from the situation.
More specifically, the current standings with the cancelation would be:
1 FC Barcelona 18-4
2 Real Madrid 16-5
3 AX Armani Exchange Milan 16-6
4 Olympiacos Piraeus 15-7
5 Anadolu Efes Istanbul 12-8
6 FC Bayern Munich 12-10
7 Maccabi Tel Aviv 11-10
8 AS Monaco 10-13
9 Crvena Zvezda Belgrade 9-12
10 Fenerbahce Istanbul 9-13
11 ALBA Berlin 8-12
12 Bitci Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz 7-15
13 LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 7-15
14 Zalgiris Kaunas 6-16
15 Panathinaikos Athens 6-16
