PAOK’s preparation for the match of the 22nd and last game of the Basket League against Apollon in Patras ended on Saturday with problems, as Jaylen Riley did not participate in the morning training session. The American guard was out of the program due to an eye infection, he will follow the mission in Patras, but his participation is doubtful.
Christos Saloustros will also travel with the team to Patras, but he will not compete, as he remains out of training.
Fotis Takianos, referring to the game against Patrinos, emphasized that: “We are expecting a very difficult game, as our opponent is freed from the stress of the result. Apollon is a team with a special style, we need to be very careful from the first second. We have to be completely focused, especially in the defensive part, to execute correctly to get the result we want.
Our goal is to win, as in every game, and our desire is the best possible placement for the playoffs, but this does not depend only on our own game. But we have to do our job in the best possible way.”
The “black and white” team, which immediately after the end of the day’s training, started the journey to Patras, includes: Yanik Franke, Jaylen Riley, Nikos Tsiakmas, Jaylen Hands, Vangelis Margaritis, Tyler Poley, Diamantis Slaftsakis, Thodoris Konstantinidis , Jordan Seibert, Dimitris Kaklamanakis, George Kamberidis, Nate Renfro
