Nikola Milutinov will miss Olympiacos’ upcoming game against Anadolu Efes due to a concussion.
The Serbian center suffered a heavy blow to the head from Oshae Brissett in the recent clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv and was forced to leave the court with 1:35 remaining.
Milutinov finished the game with 13 points, nine rebounds and a 22 PIR, but won’t be able to help his teammates in Istanbul.
Also, Frank Ntilikina felt discomfort in his ankle and will not travel to Istanbul, leaving Thomas Walkup as the team’s only “pure” playmaker for coach Georgios Bartzokas. Injured Monte Morris also remains sidelined.
Meanwhile, Kendrick Nunn and Dinos Mitoglou have been left out of Panathinaikos’ traveling squad for the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.
Both players have failed to recover from their injuries and will not join the team for the match, which marks the first Greek team visit to Israel in two years.
Nunn has already missed Panathinaikos’ last two EuroLeague games and this will be his fourth absence in European competition, including last season’s suspension against Anadolu Efes.
Mitoglou has not played since the derby against Olympiacos at OAKA on January 2, and tomorrow will mark his fifth consecutive missed game.
