Basketball club Hapoel Tel Aviv and Greek team PAOK are reportedly competing to sign player Tyler Dorsey, who is currently serving a suspension from Olympiacos. Dorsey's ban is set to expire on October 15, but it remains uncertain if he will rejoin Olympiacos' roster under coach Georgios Bartzokas. Both Hapoel Tel Aviv and PAOK are looking to capitalize on the situation.
Greek media reports indicate that Bartzokas has placed the decision on Dorsey's future in the player's hands, awaiting his response. However, other clubs are reportedly willing to pay significant sums to acquire him mid-season. Hapoel Tel Aviv has allegedly offered close to one million euros for Dorsey. Representatives for Dorsey have informed PAOK of this development.
In response, PAOK owner Mistakidis has instructed the club to double Hapoel's offer, proposing two million euros to secure the player, who would become a free agent in a few months. Dorsey had a strong previous season with Olympiacos, averaging 15.9 points and shooting 38.6% from three-point range. He started the current season with 25 points against Baskonia but saw limited minutes in his last game against Valencia, scoring only 2 points. His season average is 12.6 points per game with 40.7% three-point shooting in just over 18 minutes of play.
