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

Previously, Morris played for the Nuggets, Wizards, Pistons, Timberwolves and Suns<\/strong>, 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<\/strong> are the main question marks after two quieter years.<\/p>\n

Olympiacos had already considered Morris<\/strong> a few months back and are also seeking a big man<\/strong> to complement Peters\u2013Vezenkov<\/strong> at the four and Milutinov, Hall, Antetokounmpo<\/strong> at the five. At 8-5 in the EuroLeague<\/strong> (with one game in hand vs Fenerbahce), the Reds have clearly hit the gas for a double quality boost<\/strong> heading into 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
