Olympiacos seeks roster reinforcement following Jean Montero injury

Olympiacos BC is actively searching for a high-level player to bolster its backcourt following the injury of Jean Montero. During a media day ahead of the EuroLeague game against Crvena Zvezda, head coach Georgios Bartzokas emphasized that the club is not looking for a direct replacement with identical characteristics, as a player of Montero's specific profile is difficult to replicate. Instead, the coaching staff is prioritizing a versatile athlete who can adapt to the team's existing philosophy rather than rushing into a signing due to time pressure.

Reports suggest that the technical staff recognizes the need for an additional playmaker to support the current rotation of Miller-McIntyre, Joseph, and Plotas. The market search has proven challenging, as the NBA pool is currently limited and few high-caliber players are interested in a European move. The club is reportedly considering options from current EuroLeague rosters, although potential targets like Justin Robinson (Barcelona) or players from Crvena Zvezda and Maxima Roma remain difficult to acquire. The management is currently evaluating all possibilities without compromising on the quality required for the team's competitive level.
