Panathinaikos Signs Nigel Hayes-Davis

Panathinaikos AKTOR has announced the signing of Nigel Hayes-Davis, one of the top power forwards in Europe, on a 2.5-year contract for approximately 10,000,000 euros. The transfer, described as a "bomb," was confirmed by Dimitris Giannakopoulos, who stated that the player has signed his contract. Hayes-Davis, who was previously released from the NBA, was also a target for other European teams, such as Hapoel Tel Aviv and Fenerbahce, but ultimately chose Panathinaikos. The Panathinaikos management had moved methodically to convince him, offering improved terms both in terms of playing time and financially. The American forward is expected in Athens within the next 24 hours to join the team. The acquisition of Hayes-Davis is considered a significant boost for Panathinaikos ahead of the continuation of its commitments.
