Kostas Antetokounmpo is expected to leave the Los Angeles Lakers in search of the next stop in his playing career and is one of the names that has been drawing some significant interest among the EuroLeague teams.More specifically, both Panathinaikos and Olympiacos have asked about the Greek center, who became a free agent after his two-way contract with the Lakers expired. The 21-year-old's situation, however, is not expected to be resolved soon, as his intentions are to play at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament for the Greece national team and then evaluate his options.

Panathinaikos want Kostas Antetokounmpo to take on a reserve center position, behind Giorgos Papagiannis, while Olympiacos could look to add Antetokounmpo to their frontline consisting of Hassan Martin and Moustapha Fall.

NBA champion with the Lakers in 2020, Kostas Antetokounmpo appeared in 15 games last season, averaging 0.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, but had a more significant role with the South Bay Lakers of the G League. He became the first Greek-born player to win an NBA championship.
