Removed from the injury list of Olympiacos, Shaquielle McKissic is available for head coach Giorgos Bartzokas.
The 35-year-old forward has yet to make an appearance in the 2025-26 season, across all competitions, but is expected to play in Round 6 of the EuroLeague Regular Season, opposite FC Bayern Munich in SAP Garden on Friday.
Following the return of Evan Fournier and Thomas Walkup in Round 3 of Greece’s Stoiximan GBL Regular Season on Sunday, the Arizona State product joined team practices on Tuesday.
He is set to begin his seventh journey in Europe’s premier club continental competition, all with Olympiacos since 2020. He is a veteran of 184 appearances with career averages of 8.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. In the 2024-25 edition, he put up 7.6 points with 45% from the field, 2.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 0.5 steals per contest.
In contrast, Keenan Evans trained individually and remains out indefinitely. The 29-year-old point guard has been on the sidelines since moving his talents to the Greek club before the 2024-25 season.
Besides Moustapha Fall, who is likely to miss the entire season due to a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee, the remaining players are healthy heading to the next continental challenge.
With three wins over the first five team outings, Olympiacos is tied with nine other teams between third and 12th on the standings, one game behind co-leaders Panathinaikos Aktor and Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv.
