The Piraeus Olympiacos official website reports that a coronavirus has been identified for one of the team’s key players, Kost Papanikolaou.
The 30-year-old forward’s case is asymptomatic. The Greek was isolated to indulge himself at home.
K. Papanikolaou, who averaged 8.5 points per game in the Euroleague last year, has defended OLY’s honor for the past four years. It is true that he played for Piraeus before, in 2009-2013.
By the way, Olympiakos is the first competitor of Kaunas “Žalgiris” in the new Euroleague season. The clash between the Greek and Lithuanian basketball teams is scheduled for October 1 in the port city near Athens.
We remind you that on Friday it was announced that the Greek Dimitris Itoudis was infected with the coronavirus and was recognized twice as the best coach of the Euroleague of the year.
The strategist, who will turn 50 in September, is also receiving medical treatment in Athens, and CSKA basketball players will start the first camp in preparation for the new season without him.
The Muscovites will play the first game of the Euroleague on October 1 with Barcelona coached by Šarūnas Jasikevičius.
Given the beginning of preseason preparation, Kostas Papanikolaou was tested for COVID-19 and tested positive for the virus.
