Tensions flared in the locker room area of the SEF stadium following the conclusion of the fifth game in the Stoiximan GBL finals between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos. Panathinaikos has accused Olympiacos center Tyrique Jones of initiating a physical confrontation with their American guard Kendrick Nunn after the match, causing a disturbance.

Shortly after the alleged incident, Nunn was questioned by an ERT reporter about the accusations. However, the star player for Panathinaikos avoided addressing the substance of the claims. He neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, instead asking the reporter, "Why do you have the microphone in my face?"

Nunn's response left the incident officially unconfirmed or denied, fueling discussions after the finals concluded. The lack of a clear statement from Nunn leaves the situation ambiguous.
