After being part of Panathinaikos Athens practice sessions since August, Nikos Pappas officially joined the team a week ago. It now turns out that the twilight of his career will be more than just a simple addition to the roster.

The veteran guard will donate all his salary to the cleaning staff of the OAKA Arena, journalist Vassilis Papatheodorou revealed on Friday.

It is reported that Pappas will present the money as a holiday gift.

The former Greek international, who made his only appearance in a big tournament in the FIBA EuroBasket 2017, left PAO in the summer of 2020, following a seven-year stint that included five Greek championship titles, five Greek Cups, and two serious ACL injuries that kept him sidelined for almost 18 months.

Since 2020, Pappas has played with three teams in Israel, Poland, and Greece. He tore his Achilles tendon while playing for Zielona Gora in 2020.
