Ergin Ataman “This is ridiculous”. But there are also opponents

‘This is ridiculous,’ thundered Ergin Ataman after Panathinaikos’ home loss to Aris on Monday.

The reference is to Esake’s decision to play at 5pm on a working day, but the controversy seems specious. There are in fact also opponents.

In fact, as sport24 reveals, the ‘greens’ did not want to take the court on Sunday, which other EuroLeague teams did, in order to have more rest after the match with Zalgiris on Friday.

However, Aris also has cups, and at 19:00 Italian time on Wednesday there will be a home match against Trento in the EuroCup. The Federation therefore wanted to grant at least 48 (scarce) hours of rest to coach Kastritis’ team.
