CSKA Moscow are nowhere near full strength but two of their newcomers, Katie Douglas and Olexandra Gorbunova, were at least ready to play in the club's season opener against Dynamo Novosibirsk this week and helped them to a 66-59 win.

Douglas, who has joined the Russian giants from Ros Casares, had 16 points while former MKB Euroleasing star Gorbunova chipped in 10.
