Olympiacos close to Monte Morris deal, still targeting a big man

Olympiacos are in advanced talks with Monte Morris, 30, to round out their point guard rotation

Olympiacos are in advanced talks with Monte Morris, 30, to round out their point guard rotation. The American floor general has been a free agent after six games with the Indiana Pacers from November 8 to 17, where he averaged 3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 10.8 minutes.

Previously, Morris played for the Nuggets, Wizards, Pistons, Timberwolves and Suns, putting together five strong NBA seasons at 10.5 points, 39% from three, 4 assists and just 0.8 turnovers in 25.8 minutes. A guard who can shoot from anywhere and get to the rim, his motivation and role are the main question marks after two quieter years.

Olympiacos had already considered Morris a few months back and are also seeking a big man to complement Peters–Vezenkov at the four and Milutinov, Hall, Antetokounmpo at the five. At 8-5 in the EuroLeague (with one game in hand vs Fenerbahce), the Reds have clearly hit the gas for a double quality boost heading into 2026.
