Kostas Sloukas (thigh) stayed on the injury list but is projected to play in the next double-game week of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season. Aleksander Balcerowski and Ioannis Papapetrou (left knee) were out as well.
London Perrantes finishing with 16 points, 13 assists, and 11 rebounds shaped the second triple-double of the season in Greece, following Moustapha Fall in Round 5. The Virginia product was among the key players for Kolossos H Hotels in the win, 88-73, against Lavrio Megabolt.
