Panathinaikos guard Kendrick Nunn sustains knee injury

Panathinaikos AKTOR guard Kendrick Nunn has suffered a medial meniscus tear in his right knee while performing individual training sessions in the United States. Following the diagnosis, the 31-year-old athlete underwent a successful arthroscopic partial meniscectomy on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.

Medical staff estimate a recovery period ranging from one and a half to two months. The player's condition will be monitored and re-evaluated continuously. This injury is expected to disrupt his participation in the start of the new competitive season, with the potential risk of missing up to the first six rounds of the EuroLeague regular season depending on the length of his rehabilitation.

Panathinaikos officials confirmed the surgery and expressed their support for the athlete. While the recovery timeline remains uncertain, the team is preparing for the season under the assumption that the star player will be unavailable for the initial matches, including key home games scheduled against Paris, ASVEL, Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Fenerbahce in late September and early October.
