Dwayne Bacon signed with Panathinaikos Athens last week to help the team get back to the winning ways. However, the club's fans will have to wait a bit longer for the forward to debut.

Before the trip to Tel Aviv, head coach Dejan Radonjic was asked whether the new addition would be seen on the court on Thursday. The Serbian specialist assured that Bacon would play but not against Maccabi.

"He will play against Colossus on Sunday and I hope he will be in our training after the match against Maccabi," Radonjic told the media.

On the positive side, Nate Wolters will be making his comeback after battling an injury throughout the first several weeks of the tournament.

"He'll bring his experience and his size. Together with Paris Lee, they can control the tempo and the game," Mateusz Ponitka said. "Nate understands how to play and will help us a lot."

The match between Panathinaikos and Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is scheduled to start at 20:05 CET on Thursday.
