The guard publicly questioned his reduced playing time and the coaching staff’s approach. The Greek club will summon him to discuss his comments.

Tensions are rising at Olympiacos following comments posted on social media by Tyler Dorsey. The guard openly expressed his frustration over his sudden reduction in playing time, also questioning the coaching staff’s approach and the handling of his contractual situation.

“If someone else can do what I do, why won’t they let me leave now, especially if they don’t want to pay me? Why waste time and create drama? Why is the coaching staff so afraid?” Dorsey wrote, adding that the truth about how he has been treated at the club will eventually come out.

The club’s response has followed swiftly. Olympiacos have decided to leave Dorsey out of the squad for tomorrow’s EuroLeague matchup against Barcelona. The player will also be summoned by the club to discuss his public outburst and the statements directed at the organization.

The situation remains one to watch, with further developments possible in the coming days.
