Panathinaikos has set its sights on Georgian basketball player Sandro Mamukelashvili, currently playing for the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs. This versatile power forward/center could be the key player to make Panathinaikos the most powerful team in the EuroLeague. The club has already signed TJ Shorts, and adding Mamukelashvili might be the cherry on top for a team that was EuroLeague champion in 2010 and lost the 2023 semifinal to Fenerbahçe.
Mamukelashvili has been on the Spurs’ exit door for some time now, much like TJ Shorts was last summer. His ability to cover both power forward and center positions makes him ideal for European basketball, where strength and tactical flexibility are king.
Panathinaikos isn’t just aiming to return to the EuroLeague throne; they want to prove they’re ready to battle the best. With new signings and big ambitions, the question is whether this Greek giant can turn the tide and reclaim the title after more than a decade.
Meanwhile, in the regional basketball scene, Partizan introduced new reinforcement Dylan Osetkovski, while legendary Miloš Teodosić has retired. Former Baskonia player Chima Moneke is also set to sign with Crvena zvezda, heating up excitement for the new season.
If Panathinaikos manages to land Mamukelashvili, the EuroLeague might just crown a new king. We’ll be watching every move of this transfer with bated breath. The basketball world is on alert, and us? We’re just waiting to see who lifts the trophy in the end.
So, what do you think? Is Panathinaikos about to shake up the EuroLeague or just chasing shadows? Drop your hot takes below—let’s get this basketball banter rolling!
