Each wheelchair team has the right to register two able-bodied players, and 32-year-old Pappas is taking one of the spots.

Pappas has actively helped the wheelchair team since the beginning. He has also shown a strong desire to join the team for two years now.

"As I have said before, I feel part of this group since it was created and I participate in its activity anyway. I had expressed my interest in issuing a bulletin, however, with the COVID-19 pandemic, everything went back in time. It happened to be issued now," he explained.

"Panathinaikos is an Association that must lead the way in sports and include the whole world in its ranks, regardless of disability, gender, age, etc."

The shooting guard has not played a single EuroLeague game this season since his official return to PAO in December.
