Nigel Hayes-Davis fractured the fourth metacarpal in his left hand during a preseason practice and Panathinaikos expects an absence of around six weeks, an early blow ahead of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague campaign.
Medical update and recovery plan
The American forward was taken immediately to HYGEIA Hospital after feeling pain in Tuesday's session and examinations confirmed the fracture, which was immobilized with a special splint, with a recovery timeline of around six weeks reported by Sportando and TalkBasket.
Preseason context for Panathinaikos
The setback comes as Panathinaikos is already set to start the season without Kendrick Nunn, forcing the coaching staff to adjust perimeter rotations while the medical evaluation continues.
