Mateusz Ponitka played just under 10 minutes in the match and had to exit the court in the middle of the second quarter.

With ASVEL inbounding the ball, the Polish forward was guarding Yves Pons when moments later he seems to have sprained his ankle after colliding with the home team's big man.

Ponitka didn't play a single minute in the second half.

The player will undergo additional testing on Friday, SDNA notes, that will determine the seriousness of the injury and whether he will be able to play in the Greek derby against Olympiacos Piraeus on Sunday.

After the victory, Panathinaikos now have 10 wins and 19 losses and currently sit in 16th place in the EuroLeague standings.
