Greek basketball club Panathinaikos is reportedly seeking to bolster its roster with NBA talent following recent injuries. Coach Zeljko Obradovic has identified James Wiseman of the New York Knicks and Charles Bassey of the Golden State Warriors as potential targets.
The team's interest in acquiring a new center stems from injuries to key players Mustapha Fall and Mathias Lessort, who have experienced physical instability. This has created a need for greater depth at the center position.
Wiseman, a former second overall draft pick in 2020, is currently on a minimum contract with the Knicks, but his limited playing time could make a move feasible. Obradovic had previously pursued Bassey during his time coaching Partizan, but the player opted for the NBA.
Earlier in the summer, Wiseman was also a reported target for Hapoel Tel Aviv, but the Israeli club ultimately signed Bruno Caboclo. Panathinaikos is looking to secure two players from a list of eight potential candidates to address their roster needs.
