Basketball club Hapoel Tel Aviv and Greece's 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 aiming to capitalize on this situation to acquire the former Maccabi Tel Aviv player.
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 sign him mid-season. Hapoel Tel Aviv has allegedly made an offer approaching one million euros to the Angelopoulos brothers, Olympiacos' owners. Dorsey's representatives 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. Last season, Dorsey averaged an impressive 15.9 points and shot 38.6% from three-point range. This season, he has averaged 12.6 points with 40.7% three-point shooting in limited minutes, including a recent game where he played only 5 minutes for 2 points.
