Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv guard Wade Baldwin IV is not expected to play in a crucial Game 5 against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, according to Or Shkedy from Walla Sports.

Baldwin returned to action on Thursday after missing the previous two games. However, Baldwin played only 7 minutes and finished the game with 3 points, 3 assists, and 5 PIR.

The 28-year-old hurt his hamstring again. The scorer suffered a slight tear in Game 1.

As Shkedy reports, Baldwin will undergo additional tests over the weekend. Maccabi hope that the tear in the hamstring was not aggravated, and the expectation is that Baldwin will be sidelined for a few weeks.

Shkedy notes that no one in Maccabi camp expects Baldwin to play in Game 5.

This season, Baldwin averages 17.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 19.1 PIR per game in 30 EuroLeague appearances.

Kendrick Nunn and Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens survived a do-or-die game against Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv to keep their Final Four hopes alive for a decisive Game 5.

In an interview with SPORT24, Nunn talked about how they managed to prevail and also sent his regards to Paris Dermanis, PAO's equipment manager currently hospitalized in intensive care.

"It's all about adjustments. In a five-game series, where you're playing against the same team, it's all about the adjustments you make," Nunn said about how PAO approached the series after narrowly losing Game 4.

"If something works, you have to stick with it. If something doesn't work, you have to change it. We believe in the work of our coach and that he will put the players in the right position and that's what he did," he also said in praise of Ergin Ataman.

Regardless of the big win, PAO's thoughts and prayers are currently with Dermanis, who had a heart attack and is currently in the intensive care unit.

"Yes, we all felt our hearts heavy because Paris is in intensive care. We kept it in the back of our minds and wanted to walk away with the win for him," Nunn said.

The team was wearing t-shirts with "Stay Strong" written on them to support Dermanis in these trying times.

Finally, Nunn addressed Game 5, stating that his expectations are high for the fan support that they are going to be receiving in the OAKA Arena.

"It's going to be a big game for us. We need their support, to be there. I know they're going to be there, I don't doubt it. It's going to be a good game. We're at 2-2 and we have a chance to go to the Final Four," he concluded.

In the playoff series against Maccabi, Nunn is averaging 17.5 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.

The medical tests showed that Olympiacos Piraeus guard Giannoulis Larentzakis suffered a right ankle sprain.

It's unclear how long Larentzakis will be out, but he's currently considered doubtful for a crucial Game 5 matchup against FC Barcelona.

Larentzakis had to exit Game 4 in the second quarter when the Greek player attempted a three-pointer. However, upon landing, he did so awkwardly, accidentally stepping on Alex Abrines' leg.

This resulted in Abrines being charged with an unsportsmanlike foul. Despite the mishap, Larentzakis made the three-pointer successfully and even converted the subsequent free-throw.

However, he was evidently in considerable pain as he made his way to the end of the bench.

Larentzakis averages 5.1 points, 1.0 rebound, 1.5 assists, and 3.9 PIR per game in 35 EuroLeague appearances.

Game 5 between Barcelona and Olympiacos is scheduled for Wednesday, May 8, in Palau Blaugrana Arena in Barcelona.
