It's unclear how long Larentzakis will be out, but he's currently considered doubtful for a crucial Game 5 matchup against FC Barcelona.

Larentzakis had to exit Game 4 in the second quarter when the Greek player attempted a three-pointer. However, upon landing, he did so awkwardly, accidentally stepping on Alex Abrines' leg.

This resulted in Abrines being charged with an unsportsmanlike foul. Despite the mishap, Larentzakis made the three-pointer successfully and even converted the subsequent free-throw.

However, he was evidently in considerable pain as he made his way to the end of the bench.

Larentzakis averages 5.1 points, 1.0 rebound, 1.5 assists, and 3.9 PIR per game in 35 EuroLeague appearances.

Game 5 between Barcelona and Olympiacos is scheduled for Wednesday, May 8, in Palau Blaugrana Arena in Barcelona.
