Olympiacos will battle Panathinaikos for the Greek Basketball Cup title in the final on Crete, Saturday night, February 21, 2026, at 8:00 PM (broadcast live on ERT2 Sport).
Final roster puzzle
The composition of Olympiacos’ foreign player rotation for the final remains unclear — particularly regarding American forward Taurean Jones. His availability hinges on his physical condition ahead of the game.
Milutinov confirmed, then sidelined
Serbian center Nikola Milutinov is confirmed to play in the final. He has opted to compete as scheduled and will subsequently miss approximately three weeks to recover from a fracture in his right thumb.
Jones’ fate to be decided Saturday morning
Jones’ participation will be determined during the team’s pre-match warm-up session on Saturday morning. If he is not fully fit, American guard Donta Hall is expected to take his place in the 12-man roster.
Uncertainty among the foreigners
Only Milutinov and French guard Evan Fournier are guaranteed spots in the foreign lineup. The remaining six foreign players — Taurean Jones, Donta Hall, Isaiah Peters, Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot (Nelikina), Jalen Ward, and Jalen Morris — remain in contention, leaving room for potential surprises in the final selection.
