In this vein, the Greens announced the incorporation of Greek forward Nikos Chougkaz into the squad.

The 22-year-old international, who played with Ionikos Nikaia last season, was acquired by the Greek powerhouse in the summer of 2021 but stayed with his former team for the first part of the current campaign.

Per club announcement, Chougkaz will be integrated into PAO's training sessions on Tuesday.

In 2021-22, he's averaging 7,2 points on only 10.5% three-point shooting (4/38), 5,7 rebounds, and 1,0 assist per game.

He had a much better breakout season, where he posted 10,7 points on 41.4% from deep, plus 6,5 rebounds.
