Nunn played in the Greek League (ESAKE) but didn't score a single point in nine minutes of action and recorded -4 PIR points.
Talking with the media before a EuroLeague matchup versus Zalgiris Kaunas, Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman said that it's not a simple process.
"Even if you have Stephen Curry or Lebron James, it's not easy [to adapt] in a week or 10 days. [It's difficult] for the player and also for us to fit into the system, Ataman said. "Nunn is a great player with great quality, but he needs time to get involved in the team, to understand [his] teammates. After he understands the game, he will give a lot to us.
Panathinaikos currently share 8th place in the EuroLeague with three wins and four losses.
