Panathinaikos Actor loses Sloukas to Valencia Basket

The captain of Panathinaikos Aktor, Kostas Sloukas, has 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's injury is a severe blow to Panathinaikos Aktor, jeopardizing their title aspirations in the closing stages of the competition. His availability for the 2026 Euroleague Final Four in Athens and the Stoiximan GBL Playoffs in Greece is now uncertain.

Positive News with Osman and Ready Valencia

Amidst the bad news, the return of Turkish small forward Cedi Osman, who will be available for the first game, stands out. On the other hand, Valencia enters 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.
