Kuzmic and Pavlović waved Panathinaikos

Ognjen Kuzmic and Aleksandar Pavlović waved Panathinaikos. The Serbian and the Montenegrin player were not registered for the Basket League Play Offs and after the elimination from the Euroleague Final Four they waved the club. Both of them were choices of the former coach of Panathinaikos, Sasha Djordjevic, and their poor performance was something that counted in the termination of the Serbian coach's contract.
