Report: Olympiacos’ Papadopoulos to miss Euroleague Final Four

May 8, 2012

As though the underdogs of the 2012 Euroleague Final Four needed more obstacles to bar the way to what would be the tournament’s biggest modern-era upset, here’s another. According to Talk Basket, center Lazaros Papadopoulos will not be suiting up for the Reds in the competition.

Reports the site: “Papadopoulos hasn’t trained for days now due to a knee-related injury and is extremely doubtful for the Euroleague’s event of the year.”

The 32-year-old has played six Euroleague seasons during his 15-year career but hasn’t seen Euroleague Final Four action since 2002, when his Panathinaikos side ultimately defeated Manu Ginobili’s Kinder Bologna for the title.

As Olympiacos’ only other true center, Andreas Glyniadakis will most likely start against FC Barcelona on Friday; big guys Pero Antic and Marko Keselj should also expect a bit more playing time, BiE would guess.
