Juancho Hernangomez sidelined with injury following Super Cup semifinal

Panathinaikos AKTOR suffered a defeat against PAOK in the Stoiximan Super Cup semifinal on September 26, 2026, marking an early exit from the domestic competition. During the match, Spanish forward Juancho Hernangomez sustained a groin injury that forced him to leave the court before the final minutes of play. Hernangomez recorded 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal over his 24 minutes and 48 seconds of participation.

The 30-year-old athlete is scheduled to undergo medical examinations on Sunday, September 27, to determine the exact severity of the injury and the required recovery time. The timing of the setback is critical for Panathinaikos, as the team faces a challenging schedule in the EuroLeague. They are slated to host ASVEL Villeurbanne on Wednesday, September 30, and Maccabi Tel Aviv on Friday, October 2, in the upcoming "double week" of European competition.
