The player has recovered from the issues that plagued him for the past week and will play in the Greek League (ESAKE) match versus Panathinaikos Athens on Sunday.

Sloukas ended the match against FC Bayern Munich after the first half on March 9th after feeling tightness in his calf muscle. After additional tests, it was later revealed to be a first-degree contusion.

This season, Sloukas is averaging 11 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists for 16.2 PIR in the EuroLeague.

With 21 wins and 8 losses, Olympiacos sit at the top of the EuroLeague standings. After Thursday's win against Zalgiris, Olympiacos became the first team to qualify for EuroLeague playoffs.

Olympiacos haven't lost in the Greek League for more than a year. On top of that, they've won the last 11 games against Panathinaikos.
