Christos Boukouras from SDNA reports that Papapetrou will undergo left knee surgery and miss at least 1.5 months of action.

Papapetrou and Panathinaikos tried a conservative approach, but the player still feels discomfort in his knee, and, at this point, surgery seems like the only choice left.

According to the report, Papapetrou's appearance in the FIBA Basketball World Cup aggravated the issue.

Nevertheless, Papapetrou played in one EuroLeague game this season. In a 78-71 win against FC Bayern Munich, he finished the game with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 10 PIR in 24 minutes of action.
