Kostas Sloukas injured his calf in Game 4 of the series and played through it. The star guard could be seen limping near the court throughout the second half of the contest.
Additionally, Juancho Hernangomez re-aggravated his calf injury that had sidelined him for more than a week.
After Game 1 in Athens, Hernangomez flew to Spain for additional tests and was sidelined in games two through four against Maccabi. Now, he will undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury again.
The Spanish forward scored 11 points in 14 minutes on Tuesday. Sloukas, meanwhile, contributed with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals for 18 PIR.
While Sloukas' participation in the upcoming EuroLeague Final Four isn't doubted, Hernangomez is currently questionable for games in Berlin, Germany, on May 24-26.
