Olympiacos requested the suspension after several team members tested positive for COVID-19, which leaves it without the minimum eight players on the Authorization List fit to play.

Olympiacos registered 15 players for the EuroLeague competition, now they are left with seven. Seven athletes are out due to COVID-19 while Quincy Acy had been hospitalized with acute tonsillitis.

Following the Special Regulations due to COVID-19, approved by the ECA Shareholders Executive Board, each game can be rescheduled up to three times, if there are available dates.

EuroLeague Basketball will coordinate with both teams the best options to reschedule the game. Alternative dates will be announced on official Euroleague Basketball platforms once confirmed.

EuroLeague also postponed two other games this week: Fenerbache Beko Istanbul v Real Madrid and AX Armani Exchange Milan v ALBA Berlin.
