Olympiacos Piraeus guard Tyler Dorsey has publicly expressed frustration with his reduced playing time, suggesting that his situation at the Greek club is more complicated than it appears.
The Greek-American player addressed the issue on Instagram after comments made by AS Monaco forward Jaron Blossomgame on the Triple Threat Show.
Dorsey indicated that his minutes had decreased unexpectedly and suggested that there were additional circumstances surrounding his role with Olympiacos.
“[Dionysis Aravantinos], minutes went down out no where. But no need for me to drop everything now. The truth will be told on how I been done over here not everything what it seems like from a far!”
The guard began the EuroLeague season with an impressive performance against Baskonia, scoring 25 points in Olympiacos’ opening game.
However, his production and playing time have declined in recent appearances.
Against Anadolu Efes in Round 4, Dorsey scored four points and recorded a performance index rating of five in 17 minutes.

His playing time decreased further against Valencia, when he spent just five minutes on the court.
The reduction in minutes has raised questions about his role in the team’s rotation, particularly following his strong start to the campaign.
Dorsey’s public comments have now added to the uncertainty surrounding his situation at Olympiacos.
The club subsequently left him out of the EuroLeague game against Barcelona and instructed him to return to Athens.
