‘Dorsey won’t play Baskonia, Vezenkov hit his toe and will have an MRI’

Giorgos Bartzokas spoke about the condition of all Olympiacos’ injured players at the press conference after the 90-60 victory over PAOK. The Greek coach explained that he does not count on Tyler Dorsey for the game of the 11th matchday of the EuroLeague against Baskonia (21/11, 21:15), while he also referred to the minor problem that Sasha Vezenkov picked up in Thessaloniki.

What he said in detail:

“Congratulations to our team, because they were very serious, with the exception of 2-3 players, who when the game went to 40 points they thought we should stop playing the way we should play. But I can’t have a complaint from our team It was serious. We gave out 29 assists, as well as we could, and we are very happy about that. I wanted to wish the coach and PAOK good luck in Europe as well.

Here’s the thing: Fournier had a strained lower back from a jump late in the Maccabi game and is rehabbing. He will probably start training from Tuesday. Mitrou-Long has plantar tendonitis. He could play, but we preferred to rest him, that is, to stay out for 1-2 days and do treatments. Dorsey has a hip issue, definitely out of Thursday’s game (vs. Baskonia), hopefully he’ll be back next week. Milutinov did not play today so that the other two (Sr. Fall and Wright) could get playing time. Vezhenkov tapped his big toe. We hope it’s nothing serious. That’s why he didn’t play in the second half. He was in pain and he’s going to have an MRI.”
