GALAȚI, Romania (Interstat) — Corona Brasov visits Phoenix Galati on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at Dunarea Galati in a Romanian Divizia A matchup that pits a team fighting for playoff positioning against a squad still seeking its second win of the season.

Corona Brasov (17-25) enters the game having won two straight against Phoenix, including a 92-85 victory Tuesday and a 104-84 rout on May 10. Guard Munis Tutu has been a key factor in those wins, averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 8 assists in the two meetings. Over his last six games, Tutu has scored in double figures five times, including a 25-point outing April 30 against Steaua Bucuresti. He also posted a 19-point, 6-assist performance in the May 12 win over Phoenix.

Phoenix Galati (1-33) has lost 10 of its last 11 games, the lone win coming April 30 against Bega Timisoara, 88-82. Forward Tedrick Wilcox has been the team’s most consistent scorer, tallying 21 and 24 points, respectively, in the two recent losses to Corona. In his past six games, Wilcox has reached at least 13 points four times, including a 22-point, 4-rebound effort in the April 30 victory.

The head-to-head series this season has been one-sided: Corona has won all four meetings, the closest a 65-63 decision Oct. 8, 2025. In the most recent game on Tuesday, Corona’s Dimitrije Nikolic recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Mihai Maciuca added 18 points. For Phoenix, Mihnea Ioan Vlaicu Popa scored 18 points and Martynas Arlauskas grabbed nine rebounds.

Corona has struggled against stronger competition, losing four of its last six games overall, including a 97-77 defeat to Steaua Bucuresti on May 2. However, the team has found success against Phoenix, averaging 94.7 points in the four matchups while holding Phoenix to 80.5.

Phoenix is the league’s worst offensive team, averaging 72.1 points per game, and has allowed 90.2 per contest. The team will rely on Wilcox to generate offense, but the supporting cast has been inconsistent. In Tuesday’s loss, no other Phoenix player scored more than Popa’s 18.

Tipoff is scheduled for Sunday evening. Both teams are expected to be at full strength. Corona will aim to extend its winning streak against Phoenix, which is looking to snap a 12-game losing skid dating back to April 30.
