Kendrick Nunn reacts to match-fixing scandal in Greek basketball
Panathinaikos player Kendrick Nunn responded ironically on social media to the match-fixing and bribery investigation in Greek basketball that resulted in the detention of 6 people.
Within the scope of the match-fixing and bribery investigation that shook the Greek basketball community, 6 people, including Hellenic Basketball Federation President Vangelis Liolios and EuroLeague referee Vasiliki Tsaroucha, were detained.
During searches conducted at the suspects' homes as part of the investigation, 931,463 euros in cash, 14 mobile phones, 6 laptops, 22 USB drives, 2 tablets, and various team memorabilia were seized. Commenting on a post by the platform Basketballmaniacs, which shared the details of the operation, Panathinaikos' American player Kendrick Nunn stated, "I'm going to have to get my trophies back, sincerely."
Referee Vasiliki Tsaroucha, who is among those detained, had previously officiated matches involving Turkish teams in the EuroLeague and BKT EuroCup organizations. The incident caused widespread repercussions on the Greek sports agenda.
