The new Partizan NIS Belgrade forward has pulled his bicep muscle and is out for the friendly match in the Acropolis tournament against Turkey today. Additionally, it is believed that the player will definitely miss the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers matchup against Serbia on August 25th.

It will be a race to get Papapetrou healthy for EuroBasket, SDNA.gr reports. Medical tests were carried out this morning which light some hope for head coach Dimitris Itoudis to see his team's forward back on the roster in time.

Additionally, Konstantinos Gondikas fractured his right wrist and has been knocked out of the preparation for the upcoming international tournament as a result.

A return of recently-cut Ioannis Kouzeloglou is considered as an option, Sport24.gr reports.
