Jake Layman is on his way to Panathinaikos Athens, reports Tolis Kotzias from SDNA.

According to the report, Panathinaikos have been in constant contact with the 28-year-old representatives since August 20. 

The Boston Celtics recently cut Layman, opening the opportunity for Panathinaikos to strengthen their frontcourt. If nothing changes in the near future, Layman is expected to sign with the Greens.
