Olympiacos faces uncertainty heading into Game 3 of the Stoiximan GBL finals against Panathinaikos, with key player Tyler Dorsey's participation in doubt. The team completed its preparation for the crucial Monday night match at the SEF arena, but Dorsey's status remains a significant concern.
Dorsey did not participate in the team's recent practice sessions, casting a shadow over his availability for the third game of the series. He is currently undergoing therapeutic treatment for tendinitis, an issue that has plagued him and has not fully subsided. The persistent discomfort makes his return to competitive play challenging.
The injury occurred on May 28 during the first semifinal game against AEK, when Dorsey fell after attempting a shot. He has not played since that game. Coach Giorgos Bartzokas is reportedly waiting until the last moment to determine if Dorsey will be fit to play in the pivotal Game 3.
