The tragic train crash in the Tempe municipality left Greece devastated but it won't have an effect on international basketball.

Even though Panathinaikos Athens have reportedly asked the EuroLeague to postpone the team's game tomorrow against Anadolu Efes Istanbul, the match's date will not be changed.

The only way the game's date could still be altered is if the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis interferes.

A passenger train and a freight train crashed into one another late Tuesday evening, leaving at least 36 people dead. The Greek government has already announced a three-day mourning period from March 1st until March 3rd.

The Greek Basketball Federation has additionally announced that all matches under their jurisdiction during those three days have been postponed. All local events will be cancelled during those days. Since the EuroLeague game is an international event, it would require additional action for it to be postponed.

Olympiacos Piraeus will travel to Italy to play against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan regularly as well.
