Injury to Papapetrou, knee operation: this is the time of his absence

Ioannis Papapetrou (29 years old, 2.06 m) problems in his left knee could not be resolved with conservative treatment and it looks like he is going through the surgery door.

The Panathinaikos striker will undergo an arthroscopy, which practically means he will be out for around 1.5 to two months.

Of course, his absence creates a significant void, as he was the only pure three-man on the team’s roster.

During this time, Panathinaikos has played many important games in both the league and EuroLeague, including the derby with Olympiakos at SEF on October 30.

Specifically, the Greens have eight games for the Basket League and eleven for the EuroLeague in a period of about two months from today.

The games he is expected to lose

• 20/10 Panathinaikos – Maccabi (EuroLeague)
• 23/10 Panathinaikos – Lavrio (Basket League)
• 27/10 Panathinaikos – Baskonia (EuroLeague)
