Following EuroLeague’s and Greek Basket League’s decision to pause all action in light of the coronavirus pandemic, Rick Pitino has decided to return to the States on Thursday in order to be close to his family.
Given that there is no timeline of when the leagues around Europe will resume at the time, Pitino will return to the States instead of staying in Greece.
Despite USA President Donald Trump stating that a travel ban is imposed for all trips from and to Europe, all American citizens can enter the country, after undergoing medicals, which means that the Panathinaikos coach is not prohibited to travel.
