Injury-hit Milan (12-11) will hope to welcome back reinforcements for a testing visit from reigning champ Panathinaikos (14-9), which needs a win to maintain its position in the top four.
Game Notes: Milan vs. Panathinaikos



The Greens will hope for more inside dominance from Wenyen Gabriel after his breakout performance in last week’s sensational comeback triumph over Zalgiris, pairing 15 points with 8 blocks, and Milan needs center Freddy Gillespie to add more scoring after only managing 2 points along with 10 rebounds in last week’s heavy loss at Efes. Shooting star Neno Dimitrijevic also needs to emerge from a slump after only averaging 4.7 points over the last three games, especially with Greens’ guard Kendrick Nunn fully recovered from his own dip in form after scoring 26 against Zalgiris last time out.
