“Panathinaikos is a very strong team with a talented and deep roster. With Kendrick Nunn, they have even strengthened further. Against so much offensive power, we must focus on defense, especially being concentrated. Of course, having Khalifa back and in rhythm helps us. I am also glad to finally be back on the court and able to help the team” said ALBA Berlin center.
