Tyler Dorsey, a key player in Olympiacos' EuroLeague championship last season, has publicly criticized the team and fellow player Jaron Blossomgame regarding his role and contract situation. Dorsey's playing time has significantly decreased this season, particularly after the addition of Yan Montero. The controversy began when Chima Moneke of Crvena Zvezda suggested on the Triple Threat Show podcast that Olympiacos should meet Dorsey's demands and extend his contract, emphasizing his importance to the team, especially for the playoffs. Blossomgame, however, countered this, stating that Dorsey's contributions are replaceable and that players like Montero and Evan Fournier are superior or equally capable.
Dorsey responded directly to Blossomgame's comments via video, questioning why the team hasn't released him if his contributions are considered replaceable and if they are unwilling to pay him. He expressed frustration over his drastically reduced minutes, which he claims came "out of nowhere," and hinted that the truth about his treatment by the team would eventually be revealed. Dorsey suggested that not everything is as it appears from the outside and that the coaching staff seems hesitant to address the situation directly. He played only five minutes in a recent game against Valencia.
