Tyler Dorsey Expected to Miss Olympiacos Clash Against Maccabi Tel Aviv
Tyler Dorsey returned to Olympiacos training after a one-month suspension but will miss the upcoming matches against Aris Thessaloniki and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Tyler Dorsey returned to Olympiacos practice on Friday after serving a one-month suspension, but the guard is not expected to play in the upcoming matches against Aris Thessaloniki and Maccabi Tel Aviv, according to Greek media reports.
The 30-year-old guard, who has been training individually in recent weeks, will miss Sunday's Greek League clash against Aris Thessaloniki. He is also ruled out for the EuroLeague matchup against Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled to take place in Cyprus on Tuesday.
The team's travel schedule plays a key role in his absence, as the Olympiacos delegation will travel from Athens to Thessaloniki before heading directly to Cyprus. Dorsey is expected to make his return to the court in the EuroLeague Round 13 game against Real Madrid on November 20.
Dorsey was suspended for a month following a disciplinary infraction after making social media comments regarding his playing time and status within the squad. Following the conclusion of his suspension, Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas emphasized that the player must earn back the coaching staff's trust.
"He is the one who needs to earn back our trust. We do not treat him any differently," Bartzokas stated. "He has a lot of talent. If he manages to harness it, he will be a great help to the team."
