Panathinaikos is facing significant internal and external instability as the club’s owner engaged in a heated confrontation with officials and a key player was removed from the team roster.
On-Court Confrontations
The owner of Panathinaikos reportedly lost control during a recent event, rushing onto the court to aggressively confront both the referees and head coach Ergin Ataman. Reports indicate that the owner used profane language toward the officiating crew and the coaching staff in the middle of the playing area.

Roster Adjustments Ahead of Finals
In a separate development described as “sad news” for the athlete involved, Panathinaikos has officially deregistered player Grigonis from its roster. This move comes immediately before the start of the final series in Greece, leaving the player off the active list for the upcoming competition.
