Without stepping on the gas, Panathinaikos AKTOR prevailed with a score of 90-82 against the mighty Prometheus in the nice atmosphere of OAKA, in a postponed match for Stoiximan Basket League.
After the match, Ergin Ataman spoke at the press conference about the injuries of Juancho Hernangomet and Kostas Sluka, expressing his opinion that both will be ready for the Final Four, since there is enough time until then for them to come back.
In detail what he said:
“It was difficult to find motivation in this match, because the result of the game would not have changed anything in our position in the standings. We are first. And of course because we were coming off a very big win against Maccabi. We played seriously out of respect for our approximately 10,000 fans who came to the stadium. It was a good game because we used all our players. Some were positive, some were not. Anyway, we won.
Sloukas and Juancho will play 100% in the Final Four. They are healing. We have two weeks to go and the doctors told me it takes a week to 10 days to heal. It’s good for them. They will be rested and fresh for the Final Four.
It is a good question (pp. on whether there are similarities with the qualification he had achieved with Efes in the Final Four), but now is not the time to answer it. This press conference is for the championship match. I think next week we will have Media Day for the Final Four. Then we can comment on everything, because this is a big story.”
