Panathinaikos made it 2/2 in the “devil’s week” of the Euroleague against Armani and Baskoniahowever everyone’s mind is on the void left by Matias Lessor after his gruesome injury in the last matchup of the first round.
The French center will be out of action for four months and the European champions will immediately move for his replacement. As reported by “Buzz Court”, Panathinaikos has the Australian, Duop Rith, on his list.
This is a center who this season competed in the Portland Trail Blazerswho, however, will not keep him on their roster as they await offers to land him.
The publication states that the amount of 2.11 international with the “kangaroos” the “clover” could be concerned, since at the moment there are no proposals from NBA teams.
Duop Rith started his career from Serbian Kozakarski, followed by Red Star, Illawarra Hawks, Qingdao Eagles, Al Riyadi, while in 2023 he moved to the USA for the Blazers.
With the Portland team he is averaging 2.1 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Under contract through 2025-26 at only $2 million annually, any contending team in need of center depth could utilize Reath’s skill set.
