According to an announcement by Olympiacos, which was delivered on the day of Printezis's birth, the ceremony will take place on September 6, 2024.

Wearing number 15, Printezis served Olympiacos for almost the entirety of his career. Excluding a one-year break in 2006-2007 and a two-year stint with Unicaja Malaga in 2009-2011, Printezis has been part of Olympiacos since 2002.

With Olympiacos, Printezis won the EuroLeague twice in back-to-back championships in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. The Greek player famously delivered the game-winning shot in the 2011-12 final to shock CSKA Moscow in Istanbul.

He was also named to the All-EuroLeague First Team in 2017 and the EuroLeague 2010-20 All-Decade Team.

In all of his years competing professionally, the Olympiacos legend averaged 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 10.2 PIR in the EuroLeague.
