The American guard, playing in Europe for the first time in his career, has seen his team slip to the bottom of the standings with just one win in nine games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mathews spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skweek.com\/interviews\/garrison-mathews-addresses-last-shot-vs-pao-reveals-surprising-reason-he-picked-milan-over-belgrade\/\">SKWeek<\/a> following Milano\u2019s road loss to Panathinaikos, discussing his adjustment to European basketball and the team\u2019s current struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On his first experience in Europe:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been an adjustment. I\u2019ve had some good games, some bad games. It\u2019s part of it. The differences on the court? Spacing, probably a little bit of physicality, just being able to get shots, get open shots\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On Milano\u2019s difficult situation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think we\u2019re building chemistry and we\u2019re getting better. There\u2019s definitely way more pressure than there is in the NBA. Like I said, you can win, you can lose, even six. It turns around fast. I don\u2019t know what the future holds, but all I know is we\u2019re getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mathews has played in 10 games between the LBA and EuroLeague, averaging 9.2 points (38% FG, 37% 3P, 79% FT) in 18 minutes per contest, along with 2 rebounds per game. He also has a positive steals-to-turnovers differential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Garrison Mathews (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gmathews_24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@gmathews_24<\/a>) is optimistic despite a very bad start to the season of the Olimpia Milano.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/olimpiamilano?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#olimpiamilano<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eCJKMMRLqu\">pic.twitter.com\/eCJKMMRLqu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Basketball Sphere (@BSphere_) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BSphere_\/status\/2116882953322283076?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 1, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mathews has played in 10 games between the LBA and EuroLeague, averaging 9.2 points (38% FG, 37% 3P, 79% FT) in 18 minutes per contest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":550351,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199,259],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-558204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-serie-a"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/10\/IMG_0991.jpeg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558204"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":558205,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558204\/revisions\/558205"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558204"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=558204"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=558204"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=558204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
