Sloukas out for Game 4
Panathinaikos will be without Kostas Sloukas for tonight's decisive Game 4 of the GBL finals against Olympiakos. The star guard is officially ruled out, joining Cedi Osman on the sidelines (1). Sloukas is a cornerstone of this team, and losing him for a must-win game is a brutal blow.
