In a significant transfer move, Panathinaikos basketball team has finalized an agreement with American forward Nigel Hayes-Davis for the next 2.5 years. The 31-year-old player, who recently became a free agent after his stint with Milwaukee Bucks, has proven his worth in the European league as last season he was named the Most Valuable Player of Fenerbahce during their EuroLeague championship run.

Initially, Hayes-Davis was considering a move to Hapoel Tel Aviv but reportedly preferred to avoid playing in Israel. He also received an offer from his former club, Fenerbahce, but the terms did not meet his expectations. This situation was seized by Panathinaikos, allowing them to secure a notable signing that may enhance their competitive edge in the league.

Hayes-Davis is anticipated to deliver significant contributions in both the small forward and power forward positions, showcasing his versatility and talent on both ends of the court. His arrival in Greece is expected imminently, marking an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club as they prepare for future challenges in the league.
