Besides Kostas Antetokounmpo (knee) and Marius Grigonis (back) on the injury list, Kostas Sloukas was ruled out of the Stoiximan GLB Regular Season Round 6 affair due to a shoulder injury and is considered questionable to play in Round 9 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv in Athens on Tuesday. Also, Juancho Hernangomez went unregistered for the domestic game.
