Acqua S.Bernardo Cantù Visits Maxima Roma at PalaTiziano
Coming off a Monday night derby against Milan, Acqua S.Bernardo Cantù travels to the Italian capital for a matchup against LBA Serie A newcomer Maxima Roma on Sunday, November 8, 2026. Pallacanestro Cantù reported that the opening tip is scheduled for 4:00 PM local time at PalaTiziano in Rome.
The fixture is in the seventh round of the 2026/2027 LBA Serie A SisalClub season. Maxima Roma enters the weekend with four wins through their opening six domestic matches, having dropped contests only to league leaders Napoli and Virtus Bologna. Meanwhile, head coach Matteo Cotelli’s squad balances its domestic commitments with a 2-3 record in EuroCup competition.
Aaron Holiday and Xavier Moon Dictate the Roman Backcourt
Maxima Roma’s ambitious project is anchored by a dynamic backcourt featuring former NBA guard Aaron Holiday. The 1996-born playmaker paces the capital club with 14.5 points and 5.2 assists per game, drawing on more than 500 appearances in the NBA. Fellow guard Xavier Moon orchestrates the offense alongside Holiday, distributing a team-high 5.4 assists per contest while nearing double figures on average.
Depth in the perimeter rotation arrives via experienced American guard Brynton Lemar, who brings extensive European competition experience from the EuroCup and Basketball Champions League. Mirza Alibegovic supplements the scoring punch with 13.3 points per game, while sharpshooter Giovanni Veronesi converts 48% of his attempts from beyond the three-point arc in league play.
Hunter Tyson and Miro Bilan Anchor Frontcourt Rotation
In the frontcourt, head coach Cotelli deploys a mix of European pedigree and American athleticism. Former Denver Nuggets forward Hunter Tyson is playing his first professional season overseas, starting alongside British-formed forward Carl Wheatle. Miro Bilan anchors the center position, averaging 10.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. Bilan’s numbers sit below his three-year stint in Brescia, where he claimed the 2024/2025 Regular Season MVP award and finished as a finalist the following year.
Veteran forward John Brown III adds significant EuroLeague experience to the roster, boasting past stints with UNICS Kazan, AS Monaco, and Crvena Zvezda after beginning his professional career in Italy. Gora Camara provides frontcourt relief behind Bilan, though Maxima Roma will likely play without the injured Matt Ryan.
Match Officials and Broadcast Information for Traveling Supporters
Andrea Valzani, Denis Quarta, and Alessio Dionisi will be the three referees for Sunday afternoon’s fixture in Rome.
For supporters following from Lombardy and beyond, Pallacanestro Cantù confirmed that live television coverage will be broadcast via the subscription streaming platform LBATV. Live radio commentary will also be transmitted across local frequencies on Radio Cantù at FM 89.600.
