Olympiacos has made its final roster adjustment for the upcoming Stoiximan GBL finals against Panathinaikos AKTOR, with coach Giorgos Bartzokas finalizing his eight-player foreign lineup.

The most significant change sees Cory Joseph replacing Monte Morris, marking the end of Morris's season with the team. Additionally, both Shaq McKissic and Moustapha Fall have been excluded from the rotation for the championship series.

The finalized depth chart includes Thomas Walkup and Cory Joseph at point guard, Tyler Dorsey, Kostas Papanikolaou, and Ioannis Papapetrou at shooting guard and small forward respectively, Sasha Vezenkov and Alec Peters at power forward, and Nikola Milutinov, Hassan Martin, and Tai'ler Jones at center.

Notably, Olympiacos must select six American players for each game, meaning two eligible players will be left out of the twelve-man roster for every match. Tyler Dorsey will also miss Game 1 due to tendinitis.
