The Greek forward, who suffered a foot injury in the game against UNICS Kazan, has been out for the last few months but now looks very close to his return on the court.

"Dinos started to work with the ball," coach Messina said to Tuttosport. "We hope to have him back when EuroLeague will restart, for the game against Olympiacos".

For Shavon Shields, on the other hand, the Italian team needs to wait a little bit more before seeing him again on the court.

"Shavon suffered the injury after Dinos so he needs a little bit more time but his recovery process is going well," coach Messina added.

"They're both coming from delicate injuries and they underwent surgery, which required a period of 3 months of absence. With our work and a bit of caution, we've been able to anticipate the process a little bit," coach Messina concluded.
