Olympiacos seeks guard reinforcement following Gian Monteverdi injury

Olympiacos is actively searching for a new player to strengthen its perimeter rotation following a serious injury to Gian Monteverdi. Head coach Georgios Bartzokas stated during Media Day that the club is exploring the market in Europe, America, and Australia, but emphasized that they are not rushing to find a direct replacement for Monteverdi.

Bartzokas noted that attempting to find a player with identical characteristics to Monteverdi would likely result in failure. Instead, the team is looking for a high-quality player who can integrate into the team's philosophy, regardless of whether they are a specialist in isolation, shooting, or passing.

In related news, David Jones-Garcia, a player previously linked to Olympiacos in transfer rumors, is currently pursuing a role in the NBA. After signing a two-way contract with the San Antonio Spurs, the Dominican player has seen limited playing time in the 2026-27 season, appearing in two games with a total of 4.5 minutes played.
