Milutinov: I'm Not at the Level I Want Yet, Results Will Come

Nikola Milutinov spoke on behalf of the Olympiacos players at the Media Day event. The team will face Dubai at Sunel Arena tomorrow. The game will be broadcast on Novasports Prime on November 12 at 21:15.

Last season Milutinov was the best center in the Euroleague, but this season he has been dealing with several injuries. He noted that the toe injury he suffered most recently is not serious, but it has partly affected the dynamic he is expected to bring. Milutinov said, "I am trying to get back. I'm not at the level I want yet, but I am trying to help the team as much as I can."

Milutinov did not speak clearly about his future with the team. He said, "I don't know what will happen in the future. I am here now, but I can't know what will happen after that."

In Dubai, Kabengele, who has played in Milutinov's position at center this season, stands out with 14.6 points and 7.8 rebounds. Milutinov praised the opponent: "He is an incredible player and one of the best bigs in Europe. But Dubai has many valuable players, and we need to be careful."

Recently, Olympiacos' low shooting accuracy at Sunel Arena has been discussed. Milutinov does not think this is a problem. In his view, they may not be as good on offense as they were at the start of the season, but they have improved on defense. Milutinov believes that their daily training will produce results over time.
