The matchup should have started at 15:45 local time but the teams never even began to warm up. The Lavrio Indoor Hall's roof was leaking, causing water to drop on the court.

The league made the decision to postpone the match.

The leak was caused by heavy rain in the area. According to the information by ERT3, a television channel that should have broadcasted the game, the issue in the arena has been present since 2014.

Instead of taking part in the game, Olympiacos travelled to their home Peace and Friendship Stadium and held a practice there. The team from Lavrio had to leave the court.

Interestingly, Olympiacos will host Ionikos Nikaias in that same arena next week due to Peace and Friendship Stadium being unavailable with another sporting event planned at that time.

Olympiacos will leave for Germany on Monday in preparation for the EuroLeague match against ALBA Berlin.

Before the situation unfolded, it was announced that Kostas Sloukas and Alec Peters would have missed the game against Lavrio.
