Panathinaikos OPAP Athens will face FC Barcelona Thursday for their scheduled Round 25 meeting in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague (21:00 CET) without star guard Nemanja Nedovic.
Nedovic, the second-best scorer of Panathinaikos this season with an average of 11.5 points per game, will remain in Athens to rest, as the team informed.
Panathinaikos will also lack Ioannis Papapetrou, who underwent surgery on Monday to treat a chronic sinusitis issue that has been affecting him and will remain away from action for a few weeks.
Besides Nedovic and Papapetrou, youngster Neoklis Avdalas will also remain in Athens, due to obligations with the national team.
Panathinaikos currently holds a 5-16 record in the EuroLeague and will look to snap back from Round 24’s defeat to AS Monaco at home.
