Panathinaikos Actor loses Sloukas to Valencia Basket
Great surprise for Panathinaikos Aktor before facing Valencia in a crucial series for a spot in the 2026 Euroleague Final Four.
The captain of Panathinaikos Aktor, Kostas Sloukas, suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of the entire best-of-five series against Valencia. The veteran Greek point guard, a four-time EuroLeague champion, was averaging 9.6 points, 5.1 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per game in the 2025-26 season.
Impact on the Greek team
Sloukas' injury is a heavy blow to Panathinaikos Aktor, jeopardizing their title aspirations in the final stretch of the competition. His availability for the 2026 EuroLeague Final Four in Athens and the Stoiximan GBL Playoffs in Greece is now in question.
Positive news with Osman and ready Valencia
Amid the bad news, the return of Turkish forward Cedi Osman, who will be available for the first game, stands out. On the other hand, Valencia arrives with a relatively healthy squad, with the comeback of Omari Moore and Jaime Pradilla, although Xabi López-Arostegui remains on coach Pedro Martínez's injured list.
