James Gist wants to get back in time

With Panathinaikos getting ready to host Barcelona, the injury of James Gist is the big question on the team’s roster. The American forward suffers from dilatation of the flexor tendon in the ankle. He wears a special boot, he is under treatment and missed the last practices of the team. On Monday his situation will be more clear and his presence on the court on Tuesday will be a last minute decision.

He wants to be present, but Panathinaikos would prefer him to rest in order to be absolutely ready on Thursday and what counts in this case is the doctors’ opinion.
