Panathinaikos is heading into the 2026-27 season with a significantly reshaped roster and a familiar face returning to lead the club from the bench.

Zeljko Obradovic is back in Athens as head coach for the first time since 2012, replacing Ergin Ataman following a turbulent campaign.

The Greens have now officially confirmed their roster and player numbers for the new season, with several major additions expected to play important roles.

Panathinaikos invested heavily in strengthening the squad, bringing in five notable reinforcements.

Brancou Badio and Isaac Bonga arrived after buyouts from Valencia Basket and Partizan, respectively, while Sylvain Francisco ultimately chose Panathinaikos despite initially reaching an agreement with ASVEL.

The club also made two eye-catching additions to its frontcourt.

Guerschon Yabusele returned to European basketball following his latest NBA stint, while Moustapha Fall made the move across the Athens rivalry after spending five seasons with Olympiacos.

There were significant changes in the opposite direction as well. Cedi Osman surprisingly joined PAOK Thessaloniki, while TJ Shorts departed for Valencia Basket.

Marius Grigonis returned to Zalgiris Kaunas and Kenneth Faried moved to Baskonia, with Vassilis Toliopoulos and Alexandros Samodurov also leaving the club.

Despite those departures, Obradovic will have a deep roster featuring established names such as Kendrick Nunn, Kostas Sloukas, Juancho Hernangomez, Nigel Hayes-Davis and Mathias Lessort alongside the new arrivals.
