Ataman: “It was a clean win, fantastic that we only have victories in the league”
Ergin Ataman stated immediately after Panathinaikos AKTOR’s victory over PAOK that it is important for the team to find solutions to win the Stoiximan Basket League in order to go to the EuroLeague games with good conditions.
Panathinaikos AKTOR defeated PAOK in OAKA 97-85 and Ergin Ataman was happy with his players even if Dikefalos caused them problems. At the same time, the Turkish coach explained that Grigonis had a more serious problem than Grant, who was defending.
In detail, what Ergin Ataman said to ERT: About playing with PAOK: “It’s a basketball game. I wasn’t particularly worried. PAOK is a good team and fought in the game. In the beginning he played very good basketball, had a talent for scoring goals and played good defense. But in the end we got a clear win, we got 97 points and we only have wins in the league, which is fantastic“.
For Grigonis and Grant: “Grigonis is injured, he has knee problems. Grant also has a minor problem, I wanted to protect him. Grigonis is in the worst shape. We shared the time, some players played well, others not so well. The important thing is to find the wins in the league and then go to the EuroLeague game“.

Croatian “Zadar” reported on its official website the transfer of a basketball player from the Ukrainian national team Ivan Tkachenko.
After a short trial period during which the Ukrainian player met the requirements of the coaching staff, a contract was signed with him at the end of the season.
The club has already announced that Tkachenko will participate in the Adriatic League and the Croatian Championship, so the Ukrainian can make his debut for the new team in the local championship match against Kvarner on December 27.
Tkachenko did not sign a contract with any club at the beginning of the 2025/26 season and played in only two official matches after the start of the season – as part of the Ukrainian national team, against Georgia and Denmark in November as part of the 2027 World Cup qualifiers.
Last season Ivan played for Mitteldeutscher, where he won the German Cup. The forward, who played in 32 matches in the 2024/25 Bundesliga, averaged 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes.
During his club career, Tkachenko played for Ukrainians Cherkasy Mavpy and Prometheus, as well as Finland’s Helsinki Seagals.
Zadar is in sixth place in the Adriatic League Group B with 4 wins in 10 matches, and is in second place in the Croatian Championship with a score of 10-1.

Star player of Los Angeles Lakers Luka Doncic Against the background of the embarrassing defeat of Houston Rockets (96:119), he explained what the team had to change to improve the results:
“I don’t know exactly what needs to change, but something definitely needs to change. We need to figure it out, that’s what we need to do. Everyone should discuss it.”
I know JJ Redick said it would be disturbing. And that’s the way it should be.
As I said, we need to discuss this. It may be uncomfortable, but everyone needs to try harder, starting with me.
We just have to challenge each other. Everyone should challenge themselves and their teammates. “There’s no way to play the way we play, so we’ve got to be better than that.”
