After yesterday’s day-off, the team had a rendezvous this noon at the OAKA indoor arena, in view of the closed doors encounter versus KAOD (March 4, 19.00, ET1). Return to training had also trouble in store for Panathinaikos, most important issue being the one concerned Marcus Banks.
Banks felt pain in his inner thigh, underwent an MRI, through which it was proven that he had suffered a strain in the area. Vassilis Xanthopoulos did not practice for yet another day, since he is still suffering from a neck strain, Stephane Lasme was not feeling well and he was advised to stay at home.
