This time, two of the three players - Gudaitis and Kalaitzakis - are back but one of the most impactful members of the Greek club's squad has missed the last practice.

Dwayne Bacon was sidelined with a virus that also places him under the 'doubtful' tag for tomorrow's Greek League game against Apollon Patras.

Ever since he joined the team, Bacon has been the undisputed leader of the roster, averaging 20.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game for 16.3 PIR.

Bochoridis, meanwhile, logged in with limited participation.

After a handful loss to Anadolu Efes Istanbul this week, Panathinaikos will battle their eternal rivals Olympiacos Piraeus in the EuroLeague next week. The match is scheduled for December 30 at 20:00 CET.
