The announcement in detail:

“SAD ANNOUNCEMENT AMATEUR

ON THE DEATH OF KING GEORGE

The news of the death of Vassilis Georgiou, who died at the age of 86, has caused sadness in Apollo’s family.

The name Vassilis Georgiou is associated with Apollon since he was transferred to our team from Skagiopoulio in 1951, with whom he competed until 1959, where together with him we won the local championship in 1956 and 1958.

However, our paths never really parted, he returned after years and took over the coaching position in the team, while supporting us in good and bad times as a unique Apollonist. Today an important person in the history of Apollo, Vassilis Georgiou, passed away.

Apart from the relationship that Vassilis Georgiou had with Apollo, no one can forget the “legendary voice” in the radio description of the 1968 Basketball Winners’ Cup that he did for Greek radio when AEK won the European Cup.

The “black and white” family extends its condolences to his family and loved ones.”

Jokic may lose his chance to compete for NBA MVP award

Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to left knee hyperextension.

The Serb is expected to miss all 18 matches in January and his maximum appearances this season could be limited to 64 matches. So Jokic will lose the opportunity to compete for the NBA’s main prizes – MVP and inclusion in the All-NBA, as this requires playing at least 65 games in the regular season.

Theoretically, he could return for the January 31 game against the Brooklyn Nets, which would give Nikola the opportunity to play 65 games before the end of the season, but that scenario is unlikely.

Jokic was injured in the last seconds of the first half of the match against Miami Heat (123:147) and did not return to the field after a long break. Before his injury, he managed to score 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes.

Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.
