From now on, he will wear Olympiacos Piraeus jersey for the next three years, according to the official statement from the Greek club.

The decision comes after Mitrou-Long experienced a gradual decrease in playing time with Zalgiris, with his latest EuroLeague appearance against FC Bayern Munich lasting just over three minutes.

During his time with the Lithuanian champions, Mitrou-Long averaged 4.1 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.8 PIR per game in the EuroLeague.

The 30-year-old player will only be eligible to play for Olympiacos in the EuroLeague starting from Round 18 on December 30th. However, this restriction does not apply to the Greek League, allowing him to participate immediately.

To facilitate this, he is expected to secure a Greek passport in the coming days, ensuring he is not classified as a foreign player in the league, as previously reported by Konstantinos Melayes.
