However, the Greek giant will have to play without two of its main players. Kostas Sloukas and Moustapha Fall are set to miss the match due to non-COVID-related illnesses. The two players did not participate in this morning's shootaround and are officially out of the game.

Shaquielle McKissic, Kostas Papanikolaou, and Tyler Dorsey are expected to play, all after suffering from stomach issues throughout the week.

On the other side of the court, Sertac Sanli, who trained with his teammates yesterday, has traveled to Athens and will be a game-time decision. Rokas Jokubaitis, Brandon Davies, Cory Higgins, and Pierre Oriola are going to miss the match, according to the club's official announcement.

The two teams meet at 20:00 CET today in the Peace and Friendship Stadium in Piraeus. Their previous meet was won by the Catalan team after thrilling overtime.
