Kendrick Nunn has been ruled out by Panathinaikos Aktor for Round 23 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season.
The Most Valuable Player of the 2024-25 edition of Europe’s premier club competition also missed Round 22 opposite FC Bayern Munich in SAP Garden last Thursday. Due to a left ankle injury, he has not been medically cleared to resume team practices and thus will remain sidelined against Kosner Baskonia in Telekom Center Athens on Tuesday.
Konstantinos Mitoglou (right hamstring) and Mathias Lessort (left ankle) are stuck on the injury report as well. In contrast, Nikos Rogkavopoulos practiced without restrictions on Monday, recovering from an illness, and is available for head coach Ergin Ataman.
For the team coached by Paolo Galbiati, Markus Howard (right thigh) and Tadas Sedekerskis (right ankle) are expected to remain out at the top of EuroLeague’s upcoming double-game week. Also, Eugene Omoruyi and Markquis Nowell are considered questionable to play against the Greens after sitting out Round 16 of Spain’s Liga Endesa Regular Season opposite BAXI Manresa in Fernando Buesa Arena on Sunday.
From their clash in the Greek capital to Round 24, Panathinaikos visits Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv in Menora Mivtachim Arena on Thursday, and Baskonia moves to Ulker Sports Arena to face defending champion Fenerbahce Beko on Friday. On the standings, the Athens outfit sits inside the Play-In Showdown zone in eighth place behind a 13-9 tally, with the team based in Vitoria-Gasteiz at 8-14 and four games away from the Play-In picture.
