Shaquielle McKissic has been ruled out for the clash between Olympiacos and Paris due to an adductor injury. Over six appearances off the bench in the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season, the 35-year-old winger tallied 3.0 points, 1.7 assists, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per contest.
Furthermore, Tyson Ward is labeled as questionable to play against his former team due to right calf tightness. The 28-year-old American winger sat out recent team practices due to the setback. He previously averaged 7.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 0.5 steals per contest over 11 games of Europe’s premier club competition, including five starts.
Besides Keenan Evans and Moustapha Fall, both long-term residents of the injury list, the remaining players are available, including returning Frank Ntilikina, for head coach Giorgos Bartzokas.
“We shouldn’t get carried away by their pace. We’re talking about the best offense. They are the best team in pick-and-roll points,” said the 60-year-old play-caller, previewing the next EuroLeague challenge. “You have to be patient on offense, go for the rebounds. We made a lot of mistakes in the last few games, and we have to protect the ball. You have to execute well on offense, otherwise they’ll push the ball up the floor in transition.”
Heading to the Round 12 contest, the Reds are tied with three more teams at 7-4, one game behind co-leaders Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv and Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet. At 5-6, the team based in the French capital is tied for 11th.
