While undergoing rehabilitation under coach Zeljko Obradovic, Nunn was expected to aim for a return to action by early October. By October 8, Panathinaikos AKTOR updated its foreign player roster for the Stoiximan GBL, replacing Nunn with French center Mustapha Fall while Nunn continued his recovery.
