Larentzakis could not participate in Olympiacos's training on Sunday as he is busy recovering from his injury.

Despite his inability to join the training, the guard's situation will be reevaluated on Wednesday, May 8, to see if he can help out his team for Game 5 of the series.

The Greek guard was injured on his left ankle in Game 4 of the series, which ended in a 92-58 blowout victory for Olympiacos. Larentzakis was initially ruled to be doubtful for Game 5, so this recent news indicates a slightly positive development.

The fates of both Olympiacos and Barcelona hang in the balance. The winner of Game 5 on May 8 will advance to the 2024 EuroLeague Final Four, while the loser will be eliminated from championship contention.

Larentzakis has made minimal contributions to his team in the playoffs so far. In four games, he averaged only 2.3 points in 7.5 minutes per game.
