Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas announced that the Serbian big man will be included in the game roster against FC Bayern Munich on Friday.

"It's possible [he will play]," Bartzokas told the media. "We don't have many team practices, they are very specific with the games. It's a difficult job for coaches to integrate new players now, you know."

"There is no time for team practices. The games are many, and one has to find out about the progress through the games, which is not easy because the games are all very demanding, and every possession counts. But he'll be on our team, and we'll see how he goes with his playing time," Olympiacos head coach added.

Nigel Williams-Goss will remain sidelined for the game, as previously announced.

With six wins and six losses, Olympiacos are sharing 7th place in the EuroLeague, standing together with six other teams, with Bayern being among them.
