With Olympiacos taking on Maroussi Chery in the Semifinals of Greece’s Allwyn Final 8 today, Thursday, Monte Morris returns to the lineup for head coach Georgios Bartzokas.
The 30-year-old point guard, who joined the Reds in December, has been sidelined since early January with a knee injury. His return provides a critical boost to the backcourt ahead of the goal to win the 13th Greek Cup in team history.
However, center Tyrique Jones will be sidelined after suffering a knee injury in the quarterfinal victory over AEK. While initial concerns were high, medical tests confirmed tendonitis rather than structural damage, and he is currently projected to be available for Sunday’s Final should Olympiacos advance.
Shaquielle McKissic and Tyson Ward are also out of the lineup for the Semifinals contest due to domestic roster foreign player restrictions, with Tyler Dorsey (personal), Keenan Evans (Achilles), Moustapha Fall (knee), and Cory Joseph (leg) remaining unavailable.
Following the midseason Cup campaign, Olympiacos resumes the 2025–26 editions of the EuroLeague and Greece’s Stoiximan GBL. An 18–9 tally currently sits second on the continental table, two games behind leader Fenerbahçe Beko and 2.5 games over the top of the Play-In Showdown zone. Meanwhile, a perfect 18–0 domestic record is three games clear of rival Panathinaikos Aktor.
