Panathinaikos Star Kendrick Nunn Injured, Will Miss Start of EuroLeague Season Including Maccabi Tel Aviv Games
Kendrick Nunn, a key player for Panathinaikos, suffered a meniscus tear during a training session in the United States on August 19, 2026. The injury is expected to sideline him for six to eight weeks, causing him to miss the start of the EuroLeague season. This absence includes two significant upcoming matches against Israeli teams: Maccabi Tel Aviv on October 2 and Hapoel Tel Aviv on October 16.
Panathinaikos will open their EuroLeague campaign at home against Paris on September 24, followed by a home game against Villeurbanne on September 30. After facing Maccabi Tel Aviv, they will host Fenerbahce on October 8 and play Partizan Belgrade away on October 13 before hosting Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Nunn is considered one of Europe's top players, having averaged 18.3 points per game last season with shooting percentages of 58.4% on two-pointers and 38% on three-pointers, along with 3.5 assists and a performance index rating of 15.6. He helped Panathinaikos reach seventh place in the EuroLeague and pushed Valencia to a thrilling series where Panathinaikos lost after leading 2-0.
His injury is a significant blow to Panathinaikos as they prepare for a challenging season ahead.
