The Serbian center underwent a medical examination on Monday that revealed no damage to his injured ankle. As such, Petrusev, although questionable for the matchup against AEK on May 15th, is set to play in the EuroLeague Final Four next week.

Petrusev injured his ankle in the middle of the second quarter against Kolossos Rhodes while battling for a position for a rebound. He immediately collapsed on the floor and had to leave the game early.

Tuesday, May 14th, marks the last day Greek League coaches can make decisions about which players are registered for the competition. With Nikola Milutinov fully back in the rotation, Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas will have to cut one player out of the current seven foreigners on the Greek League roster - Nigel Williams-Goss, Isaiah Canaan, Shaquielle McKissic, Alec Peters, Filip Petrusev, Moses Wright, or Moustapha Fall.

In 20 games in the EuroLeague this season, Petrusev averaged 6.6 points and 3.5 rebounds for 8.4 PIR.
