Definitely without him Kendrick Nunn will compete Panathinaikos Aktor in tomorrow’s match against Efes in Istanbul (19:30).
OR Euroleague rejected the appeal of the “greens” for the penalty of one game imposed on the American guard for an abusive attack on a referee in the match against Partizan, where he was also sent off.
In fact, unlike what had happened with his case Facundo Campacho and his expulsion for the same reason in the match against Bayern, the Euroleague immediately issued a decision on the appeal. It is recalled that the Argentine was given a suspended sentence, he played in the very next match against Partizan, but missed the next one against Baskonia, as Real’s appeal was finally rejected.
The loss of Nan is very big for Panathinaikos, as this year he has 18.4 points (85.1% on shots, 56.9% on two-pointers, 39.5% on three-pointers), 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 17th in the evaluation in 29:06 on average. It will be the first game he loses in the Euroleague since joining Panathinaikos on October 31, 2023.
“It’s a huge loss. Panathinaikos must find a way to fill the gap from its biggest weapon. We expect Slukas and Brown to take on more responsibility“, Giorgos Petridis told News Bulletin 247.
