Olympiacos got an easy win over Dubai, and while the team is on the market for a player to help compensate for Jean Montero’s absence, Tyler Dorsey can also be back in action as soon as this weekend.
“Dorsey’s suspension has ended. He will participate in the team’s practice tomorrow at 12:00”, said team manager Christos Bafes during the post-game press conference.
Per Eurohoops sources, Dorsey is expected to be active in the crucial Greek league road game of the weekend against Aris.
However, coach Giorgos Bartzokas explained that while the player is available, he also needs to present himself ready to help the team: “Olympiacos didn’t commit any misconduct; the player did. He is the one who needs to win us over. We don’t treat him any differently. Tyler—as one of his teammates also mentioned—was a starter for the European and Greek champions. What more could you ask for? He, too, needs to be satisfied with what the team provides him. He has a lot of talent; if he manages to harness it, he will be a great help to the team.”
Bartzokas also repeated that Olympiacos is in the market, adding: “We are looking for a player. There are so many games in the season that you need to have players available. Last year we had four playmakers; this year we have two. There is also Konchar, who is still adjusting. We want a player to help us with playmaking.”
