Olympiacos Piraeus face two possible absences ahead of their first Turkish Airlines EuroLeague home game in the new season.

Kostas Papanikolaou was facing knee discomfort (patellar tendinitis in the right leg) and missed tonight's victorious effort against Apollon Patras, 87-61.

Joel Bolomboy suffered a sprain in his left ankle during the game and will undergo medical exams in Athens tomorrow.

Isaiah Canaan also missed tonight's game feeling ill, but he is expected to play on Friday.

The Olympiacos-Zalgiris match is scheduled for Friday, at 20:00 CET.

However, the Greek powerhouse will play in front of empty Peace and Friendship Stadium stands because of the last EuroLeague home game in 2021-22.

Olympiacos fans caused chaos in Game 5 against AS Monaco (flares, firecrackers, fans entering the court before the match ended) and the club was punished by the EuroLeague with one game behind closed doors and a fine of €53,001.
