Changes in Panathinaikos rotation during Zalgiris match

During the recent EuroLeague match against Zalgiris, Panathinaikos head coach Ergin Ataman opted to include three centers in the squad due to concerns regarding the return of Mathias Lessort. Lessort delivered a strong performance, negating the need for additional support in the paint. Consequently, Dinos Mitoglou did not receive any playing time for the second consecutive match, following his absence against Paris. Furthermore, Nikos Rogkavopoulos was excluded from the 12-man roster for the Zalgiris game, reportedly as a disciplinary measure after a poor performance against Iraklis. Coach Ataman is expected to adjust the rotation and the roles of his frontcourt players in future matches as the squad dynamics evolve. It remains to be seen how the team will manage the return of other key players and the potential integration of new additions. The coaching staff aims to balance squad depth while maintaining competitive standards.
