Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade will travel to Greece to play against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens without one of their leaders.

Kevin Punter did not travel with the team due to an illness, Bojan Brezovac from Mozzart Sport reports. The player has a fever.

With 11 wins and 10 losses, Partizan currently share 7th spot in the EuroLeague standings. Their first game against Panathinaikos this season was a 5-point win in the Stark Arena in Belgrade.
