After Panathinaikos Athens beat AEK Athens in the Greek League today, head coach Dejan Radonjic was asked whether Grigonis will suit up for the EuroLeague double week.

The Serbian specialist revealed that Grigonis will not travel with the team to the trip to Spain at all, meaning he will miss both games against Valencia Basket and FC Barcelona next week.

Signed to be one of the most important pieces on offense, Grigonis has been mainly disappointing this year for the Greek team. In 8 EuroLeague games this season, Grigonis had a positive PIR number in just 5 of them. Overall, the Lithuanian guard is averaging 9.2 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists for 5.5 PIR in the competition.

With 6 wins and 6 losses, Panathinaikos share the 8th spot in the EuroLeague standings with Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, Zalgiris Kaunas, and Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade.
