Panathinaikos Sunk in Injury Crisis, Moustapha Fall Suffers Back Muscle Tear After Joining the Team

At the mid-season point of the 2026-2026 EuroLeague, Panathinaikos Athens is facing the most serious injury crisis in its history. The Greek team led by coach Zeljko Obradovic has had to deal with numerous injuries to key players. First was Kendrick Nunn, an important scoring guard. Then Nigel Hayes-Davis, the reliable defender. Nikos Rogkavopoulos, the long-time center pillar, is also out. The highlight is Moustapha Fall, the Frenchman who just joined from Olympiakos after five years there. Fall's injury was determined to be a back muscle tear, specifically the lower back area. This is an injury that will keep him out for at least a few weeks, while also changing Obradovic's plans in building the new lineup.
