Dinwiddie Debut in the Double-Week?
Containing just this trio would be a tall order, but Olympiacos has further strengthened over the summer. Most recently, Frenchman Frank Ntilikina (7.7 ppg) joined from Partizan, following center Donta Hall from Baskonia and forward Tyson Ward (8.4) from Paris. The core also includes Alec Peters, Evan Fournier (12.0), and Shaquielle McKissic (8.4), with the latter two expected to return to the squad in Munich after injury layoffs.
“Olympiacos is a very experienced opponent whose team knows exactly how to play in order to win,” says FCBB EuroBasket champion Justus Hollatz about Piraeus. “Their core has been playing together for a long time, and this year Dorsey is performing exceptionally well. They have plenty of options. We need to be ready to match their physicality on defense and play fast on offense ourselves. If they hit a few tough shots, we can’t let that throw us off. We have to stick to our game.”
For Bayern (2-3 record), the availability of Johannes Voigtmann and Stefan Jovic will be determined after Friday morning’s shootaround, though both returned to team training on Thursday. Still sidelined are Rokas Jokubaitis and Elias Harris. New signing Spencer Dinwiddie must complete his medical checks following his arrival, but could potentially make his debut against Real or Bologna.
