SDNA.gr later confirmed the information.
Panathinaikos did everything to lure the player to continue his career in Europe but the effort was not successful, Trigas reports.
The player himself denied his possible move to Europe with the following tweet last evening: "False News." Paschall added that he "never agreed to anything."
His star teammate Donovan Mitchell joined Paschall on Twitter, writing, "They have been doing that a lot recently."
The athletic 1.98-meter forward has spent his last three years in the NBA playing for the Golden State Warriors and the Utah Jazz. Throughout his career, Paschall averages 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
Playing for Villanova University, Paschall became the NCAA champion in 2018. He made the Final Four all-tournament team that season.
After letting the club captain Ioannis Papapetrou go to Partizan NIS Belgrade, Panathinaikos have already signed six notable players this offseason in hopes of rebuilding the roster for a more competitive season.
