  • John Konchar, a Maccabi Tel Aviv target, may leave Olympiacos due to adaptation issues.
  • Konchar has not scored in two EuroLeague games for Olympiacos.
  • The player reportedly feels uncomfortable, insecure, and pressured at his new club.
  • He is expected to travel with Olympiacos for their game against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
  • Konchar previously played seven seasons in the NBA before joining Olympiacos.

John Konchar, a player previously linked with Maccabi Tel Aviv, is reportedly considering leaving his new team, Olympiacos, after a difficult start to the season. Konchar, who spent seven seasons in the NBA, joined the Greek club but has not yet registered any points in two EuroLeague appearances. He has struggled with efficiency, missing all six of his three-point attempts, and has added minimal rebounds and assists in limited playing time.

According to Eurohoops, Konchar feels uncomfortable, insecure, and pressured at Olympiacos, which is leading him to contemplate a departure. He is scheduled to travel with the team to Cyprus for an upcoming EuroLeague game against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday, unless his situation changes imminently.

Konchar's potential exit comes after Olympiacos signed him, and subsequently lost another player, Janis Montrouts, to a long-term injury. However, the recent return to form of Evan Fournier, who scored 28 points in a recent game, may impact Konchar's playing time and future with the team.
