John Konchar, a player previously linked with a potential move to Maccabi Tel Aviv, is reportedly considering leaving his new team, Olympiacos, after just two games. Konchar, who spent seven seasons in the NBA before joining the Greek club, has not yet adapted to his new environment.

According to a report from Eurohoops, the 30-year-old swingman has struggled significantly in his limited appearances. He was not registered for Olympiacos's Greek League roster and played two EuroLeague games without scoring any points. In 35 minutes of play across these games, Konchar attempted six three-pointers without success and recorded only four rebounds and two assists.

Sources suggest Konchar feels uncomfortable, insecure, and under pressure at Olympiacos. 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.

The report notes that Olympiacos signed Konchar shortly before another player, Giannis Montro, suffered a long-term injury. However, Evan Fournier has since returned to full fitness and performed exceptionally well in a recent game, scoring 28 points. This development adds further uncertainty to Konchar's future with the European champions.
