Olympiacos plans to file a complaint against a Panathinaikos fan for racist behavior towards Isaiah Canaan during Game 3 of the Finals.

The incident occurred with 9.5 seconds left in the third game, when a fan sitting across from the Olympiacos bench at OAKA allegedly directed racist remarks at Canaan. The Olympiacos player noticed and responded with sarcastic applause.o

Olympiacos will use broadcast footage to support their complaint, citing the new sports law that penalizes both the individual and the hosting team for such actions. This rivalry between Canaan and Kostas Sloukas has reportedly heightened tensions among fans.

Canaan finished Game 3 with 14 points and tw assists. The match report for the third game was unfavorable for Panathinaikos, who now face potential sanctions.
