The team has suffered major hits to its big men rotation, as Nikola Milutinov and Moustapha Fall have suffered long-term injuries.

"Nikola's injury requires surgery, and he's out for about two months. And since Fall is also out, hopefully for a short time, we are researching the market," stated Bartzokas.

"We are talking to agents to suggest players to us, and [we will] see what happens, but you know that always in this period, it is quite difficult to find a player who is ready to play because he needs to be in good condition immediately and not pass a month," he also noted, which is a common complaint. "It's always a difficult process, but we're [on] it."

Milutinov has been ruled out for five weeks after suffering an injury in the Greek derby on the 22nd of January. On the other hand, Fall has been out since the 16th of January and will require approximately two more weeks to return.
