Anadolu Efes reached an agreement with Pablo Laso

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. 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.

Maccabi Tel Aviv backtracks: coach Oded Kattash remains on the bench (for now)

Maccabi Tel Aviv may be stepping back from the idea of parting ways with head coach Oded Kattash. According to Walla Sport, the club’s management will meet today to discuss and decide the coach’s future.

At the moment, the feeling around the organization is one of renewed confidence in Kattash. The club reportedly wants to give him the chance to lead the team in Israel for at least the first upcoming EuroLeague games. Fans are strongly attached to the coach, and making a change right now—especially as the team is finally able to play EuroLeague games again in front of its home crowd—would not be considered the best choice.

This marks a drastic shift from the immediate reactions following the loss to Olimpia Milano. For now, Kattash’s job appears to be safe, but a clear turnaround in results is needed.
