Kendrick Nunn knee injury and Panathinaikos injury crisis

Overview

Panathinaikos guard Kendrick Nunn suffered a torn medial meniscus in his right knee during individual training sessions in the United States. He underwent a successful arthroscopic partial meniscectomy on August 19.

Medical estimates suggest a recovery period of approximately six to eight weeks, with a potential return window between early October and October 19. Consequently, Nunn will miss preseason preparations, friendly matches, the Super Cup, and the opening games of both the EuroLeague and the Stoiximan GBL. Specific EuroLeague matchups he is expected to miss include games against Paris, ASVEL Villeurbanne, and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

In addition to his injury rehabilitation, Nunn is set to serve a two-game suspension in Greek domestic competitions stemming from an incident during last season’s finals. To cover his absence, head coach Zeljko Obradovic is expected to utilize players such as Kostas Sloukas, Jerian Grant, and Sylvain Francisco.

By September, Panathinaikos is facing a broader injury crisis that has hampered preseason preparations, including a recent friendly match in Rhodes against AEK. Beyond Nunn, the roster is impacted by Heis-Davis, who is sidelined with a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left hand, and muscle strains affecting Rogkavopoulos and Mustafa Fall. Additionally, Sloukas and Lessort have been noted as potentially unprepared for the start of the season, leaving the team likely to be without six rotation players during the initial stages of competition.
