Morris' Injury Blow for Olympiacos: Recovery Timeline Revealed

Published January 10, 2026, 14:13

Olympiacos announced that Monte Morris suffered a rupture of the anterior part of the lateral collateral ligament in his leg, but without any bone edema. The injury occurred during the game against Bayern Munich and confirms the initial diagnosis of a severe sprain. The estimated recovery time for Morris is at least one month, meaning he will miss important competitive commitments for the team both in Greece and in Europe. The diagnosis clarifies that there is no complication in the player's bone, which could have prolonged his absence. Despite Morris' injury, Olympiacos' management is not expected to make any new signings to fill the gap in the roster. The team will rely on Walkup and Nilikina in the playmaker position, while Fournier and Dorsey will take on duties in that position at intervals. Morris' injury is certainly a loss for Olympiacos, however, the team appears to have adequate coverage in his position and does not consider immediate roster reinforcement necessary.
