THE Panathinaikos AKTOR returns defeated by Maccabi Belgrade, but a bigger “headache” is the one for the guards in view of the devil’s week to come. Kendrick Nunn and Kostas Sloukas they are dealing with injuries and it is necessary that at least one of the two will help in the matches of the upcoming devil’s week, on Wednesday (31/1) with Armani Milano in OAKA and Zalgiris in Kaunas (2/2).
The American guard faces elbow discomfort and that’s why yesterday he didn’t play in the last 15:45 of the match. It doesn’t appear to be anything too serious, but will undergo tests when the mission returns to Athens. As for him Sluka, after suffering a first-degree contusion in the adductors in Monday’s derby against Olympiakos, is considered unlikely to play for Armani Milano and unlikely to be available in Kaunas. The “greens” don’t want to risk a possible relapse and some heavy bruising that will deprive them of the 34-year-old guard at a critical juncture of the season. That is why it is very likely that they will give him the time needed to fully recover and return to the match against Fenerbahce in OAKA.
The “devil’s week”, as well as Sunday’s match against Apollon in Patras, are also missed by the Luka Vildosa and Olek Balcerovskiwho are likely to return to the match with Aris in the following OAKA, to have a match on their feet in view of Fener.
