Panathinaikos star Nunn responded on social media to a match-fixing investigation in Greece that led to the detention of basketball officials and referees. Cash and documents seized during the probe are also at the center of the news.

Panathinaikos star Nunn reacted to the match-fixing scandal with a comment on a social media post by Basketballmaniacs, a Greece-based basketball news site. Nunn wrote, "I'll have to give back my trophies, with respect."
The image shared by the news site stated that 931,463 euros in cash was seized during searches of the homes of the suspects who were detained. The image also listed 14 mobile phones, 6 laptops, 22 USB drives, 2 tablets, 3 sets of jerseys, various memory cards and a hard disk among the materials found.
As part of the investigation, 6 people, including Yunanistan Basketball Federation President Vangelis Liolios and EuroLeague referee Vasiliki Tsaroucha, were detained on charges of match-fixing and bribery. Among the detained referees is Tsaroucha, who previously officiated matches involving Turkish teams in the EuroLeague and the EuroCup.
Turkish head coach Ergin Ataman had criticized the refereeing after Panathinaikos matches against Olympiakos in the Greek Basketball League while he was coaching the team. At the time, Ataman said that what was happening in Greek basketball was not fair.
