Greek basketball club Olympiacos has officially parted ways with French guard Frank Ntilikina. The club announced the contract termination on Monday, June 22, marking the end of Ntilikina's tenure with the Piraeus-based team.

Ntilikina, 26, was acquired midway through the 2025-26 season to bolster the team's backcourt due to persistent injury issues. However, despite his transfer from Partizan to Olympiacos, he was unable to establish himself as a consistent part of the rotation. Consequently, he was not factored into coach Giorgos Bartzokas's plans for the upcoming season.

In its official statement, Olympiacos stated, "BC Olympiacos announces the termination of its cooperation with Frank Ntilikina. We thank him for his contribution to the team and wish him the best for the rest of his career."

Ntilikina's time with Olympiacos was relatively brief, and he struggled to make a significant impact. The team's decision reflects a strategic move to reshape the roster ahead of the new competitive period, focusing on players who fit the coach's immediate vision and tactical requirements.
