Olympiacos Piraeus will face off against Panathinaikos Athens in the first round of the new EuroLeague season on Friday. They will do it without two of their main players.

In addition to Moustapha Fall, who has already been declared out for the game, Ignas Brazdeikis will miss the clash as well.

The Lithuanian wing has been recovering from the injuries he sustained during the 2023 FIBA World Cup but hasn't been able to get back to 100% on time.

Fall, on the other hand, has been suffering from MCL pain and practiced only individually throughout the week.

Several weeks ago, Olympiacos handily defeated Panathinaikos in the Greek Super Cup. The green-and-whites will look to bounce back in the first round of the EuroLeague.
