The 25-year old guard, who returned to the Greens this season after playing for the Rockets last year, hurt his left calf, which will sideline him for the next two weeks. As a result, he will not be available for the upcoming Limassol Tournament in Cyprus, during which Panathinaikos will face AE Lemessos, AEK Athens and Hapoel Jerusalem, nor the trip to face the aforementioned NBA sides."
Bahahaha! He probably knows that his Greek T-Macness won't be enough to keep up with the Rocket's real T-Macness.
I don't know much about Eurolige but can anybody tell me how Panathinaikos' roster will look like (even without VSpan). I know they won the Eurolige last year, but can they beat us? Are they really good? I just don't know.

Ok! Can anyone convert the height into feet and inches for me. It's too early in the morning for that ****.
Didn't we all already assume that V-Span wouldn't play us? And, given his business about not wanting to spend another hour in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if he agreed with his new team he wouldn't come to the US before he even signed.
Well, Span has already clowned the Rockets so many times in practice that he really has nothing to prove.
