Greek “Panathinaikos” The team faced serious personnel problems due to the flu epidemic.

Eight players and three members of the coaching staff were immediately diagnosed with influenza A with severe symptoms.

Panathinaikos has shown good form in recent matches, but flu A has spread to Greece and has affected the team, which will most likely lead to the postponement of the Greek championship match against Maroussi, scheduled for December 27.

The problem is not only related to the championship match, but also to the derby against Olympiacos in the Euroleague, which is scheduled for January 2, as the epidemic prevents the team’s normal preparations.

Since many players have severe symptoms, no one can say for sure how the disease will progress and when everyone will be healthy.

The names of the sick people have not been disclosed at this time.

Nine regular season games took place in the NBA on the night of December 26-27.
