Ataman Breaks His Promise

On February 4th, following Panathinaikos' victory over Real Madrid, Ergin Ataman promised to stop publicly criticizing his players, after facing criticism himself from Dimitris Giannakopoulos.

However, after a poor performance against AEK, Ataman criticized Rishon Holmes, saying he was 'sleeping on the court.' This has reignited locker room issues, as Ataman appeared to forget his promise.

Furthermore, he commented that Mathias Lessort could take Holmes' place, intensifying the uncertainty.
