Bartzokas Speaks About Tyler Dorsey

Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas made statements about Tyler Dorsey, who has been left out of the squad. Bartzokas said he wants the player to stay with the team and noted that Dorsey made a serious contribution to the team last season.

The club beat Olimpia Milano 84-78 in Round 9 of the EuroLeague. However, the squad has serious problems. Jean Montero suffered an injury that will keep him off the court for six months. Evan Fournier is also not part of the team because of his injury. Dorsey, meanwhile, was left out of the squad after comments he made about his role in the team and his new contract.

Bartzokas stressed that there is no personal issue between him and Dorsey. He said he holds no grudge against any player and is ready to do everything within ethical limits for the club. He stated that his past work shows this.

The coach also said players should understand Olympiacos' place in Europe and show the effort they are capable of. Reminding that the club has reached the Final Four five years in a row, Bartzokas said that if he were a basketball player, he would want to play for this team to compete at the top level in Europe.

Finally, he touched on the new arena project that will open within the year. Bartzokas stressed that every player should know the value of the facilities the club offers.
