Olympiacos player Tyler Dorsey, a key figure in the team's EuroLeague championship last season, has publicly criticized the club and fellow player Jaron Blossomgame. The dispute began when Blossomgame suggested that Olympiacos should not renew Dorsey's contract, which expires in the summer. Blossomgame argued that Dorsey's contributions are replaceable, citing teammates like Janis Montro and Evan Fournier as strong offensive players.
Chima Moneke, a player for Crvena Zvezda, initially supported Dorsey, stating that the team needs him, especially for the playoffs, and should extend his contract. However, Blossomgame countered that Montro is a better player and that Fournier is one of the best guards in the EuroLeague, implying Dorsey is expendable.
Dorsey, who played only five minutes in a recent game against Valencia, responded via video, questioning why the team hasn't released him if he is indeed replaceable and they don't wish to pay him. He alluded to mistreatment and a lack of transparency regarding his reduced playing time, stating, "The truth will be revealed about how I have been treated here. Not everything is as it seems from afar."
