On the heels of winning the Greek A1 League championship, Panthinaikos received more good news at the signing of Marcus Denmon for next season. Denmon has had success in Greece before, winning the 2018 Greek A1 Championship with Panathinaikos while being named an Eurobasket.com All-Greek Co-Newcomer of the Year. Denmon returns to the Greek side after spending last season in China with Zhejiang Chouzhou.

​The Missouri product averaged a career-high 33.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game for Zhejiang as the team went 23-23 and snuck into the CBA playoffs. While Panathinaikos had another superlative year domestically, they lost in the quarterfinals of the Euroleague Playoffs, losing to Real Madrid in a three-game sweep.
