“Tyler Dorsey’s case came up in the middle of the season and we signed him to a closed contract for 2.5 years. Tyler’s transfer was done more with an eye to the future. Of course we would have liked him to have helped us more, but it is not easy for a player to adapt to 100% when he comes in the middle of the season. Also, we knew it would be difficult to bring him in in the summer, so we got him in that period so he’s part of the plan we have for the next two years. Nothing has changed with our design. There have been various rumors about Tyler supposedly having a problem with the trainer and various other things, however they are completely false! This happens in teams with all players wanting to play more and have a bigger role. That’s how sports are. There is no team that has not experienced something like this».

And he added regarding the international guard: “Unfortunately Tyler was unable to help us in the league playoffs due to the foreigner rule. We also had player injuries, so the corresponding choices had to be made. It was a choice of the coach and he supported it until the end. No change of plan for Tyler. Euroleague teams are not only interested in Tyler, but also in other players of ours. Also, as you know Tyler has a Greek passport, so teams from Greece might be interested in him. He is a player who has a contract and is part of our planning».
