The first week of the new EuroLeague season will feature a matchup between two eternal rivals. However, one of them will likely have to deal without two of their main players.

Olympiacos Piraeus center Moustapha Fall will miss the game against Panathinaikos Athens on Friday. The big man has been dealing with MCL pain and has followed an individual program recently instead of practicing with the team, Stefanos Makris from Sport24 notes.

Meanwhile, Ignas Brazdeikis, who recently joined the red-and-whites coming from Zalgiris Kaunas, will be a game-time decision.

The Lithuanian wing has participated in three team practices so far, and he's being considered to not be at 100%.

With Fall sidelines, Nikola Milutinov should get even more guaranteed minutes, while other frontcourt members will have to cover for the absence as well.
