Kostas Sloukas will be sidelined once again. Additionally, Alec Peters and George Pappas will miss the game against Anadolu Efes Istanbul as well.

Sloukas suffered a hematoma of the quadratus lumborum muscle in the spine last week and didn't finish the game against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Peters is dealing with a minor leg injury, which forced him to miss the last game as well.

With 15 wins and 7 losses, the Greek team is currently at the top of the EuroLeague standings.
