Partizan Mozzart Bet traveled to Athens before the match against Panathinaikos in OAKA Arena, without James Nunnally, one of their star players.
The American player stayed in Belgrade to recover due to illness.
Nunnally has an average of 10,4 points per game in the Euroleague this season and led the team with 20 points to their first win against Virtus.
Partizan has a 2-3 record before the road game in Athens, while Panathinaikos only has one win (1-4). Dwayne Bacon is expected to debut in a green jersey against Željko Obradović’s team on Thursday.
“Probably the new member they brought in, Dwayne Bacon will play. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t prepare for the rest of the team. Their position on the standings doesn’t mean anything. Every game they played was close. It’s a team that deserves all the respect. We will have to play a good game”, Obradović said.
