Senegal defeated Congo 83-69, and Branko Bandio concluded his duties with his national team during this "window" for the 2027 World Cup qualifiers.

The 27-year-old guard, playing 34:40 minutes, scored 15 points (1/2 two-pointers, 4-for-7 from three-point range, 1-for-2 from the free-throw line), 4 assists, 6 rebounds, and 5 turnovers.

He is now expected in Greece to undergo medical tests on Tuesday and sign a three-year contract with Panathinaikos, which will pay 1.5 million euros as a buyout to Valencia for his transfer.

The transfer of Isaac Bonga is also expected to be finalized in the coming days. The German forward was sought after by many teams, such as Real Madrid and Fenerbahçe; however, since he hasn’t found what he was looking for in the NBA, a phone call from Zeljko Obradović—with whom he worked for a year and a few months at Partizan—seems to have convinced him to sign with Panathinaikos.
