Eleftherios "Lefteris" Bochoridis (Greek: Ελευθέριος "Λευτέρης" Μποχωρίδης; born April 18, 1994) is a Greek professional basketball player who currently plays for Panathinaikos of the Greek League and the EuroLeague. Born in Thessaloniki, Greece, he is a left-handed, 1.96 m (6 ft 5 in) tall[1] point guard-shooting guard.

Early career

As a young player, Bochoridis was speculated by some as being a possible comparison to fellow Greek player Dimitris Diamantidis in the future.[2]

Professional career

Bochoridis began his pro career with the Greek League club Aris in 2010. With Aris, he played in the final game of the Greek Cup in 2014. Bochoridis' player rights were then sold to the Greek club Panathinaikos in July 2014, for €350,000 euros.[3]

On 29 July 2014, Panathinaikos announced the signing of Bochoridis to a 5-year deal.[4][5] The first statement of Bochoridis as a player of Panathinaikos, was that he was playing at the highest European level, and that he would do his best for the team.[6] In his first season with Panathinaikos, he won the 2015 edition of the Greek Cup.

On 23 September 2015, he suffered a fractured fibula in a friendly game against Partizan, and he was subsequently ruled out of game action for at least a period of three months time.[7] On 17 January 2016, he returned to action in a Greek League game, in a home win against his former club, Aris, which his team won by a score of 80-59. During the post-game press conference, Bochoridis stated that he was satisfied because of his return, and that he would do his best to help the team.[8]

In his second season with Panathinaikos, he won the 2016 edition of the Greek Cup.
