Olympiacos center Tarik Jones to miss 15 days due to calf injury

Olympiacos center Tarik Jones sustained a calf strain during the 23rd round Stoiximan GBL derby against Panathinaikos on March 30, 2026. The 28-year-old player left the Telekom Center Athens floor shortly before the game concluded. While initial reports speculated a minor pull, medical examinations confirmed a gastrocnemius strain. This diagnosis dictates a 15-day recovery period for the athlete. Consequently, Jones will miss the upcoming EuroLeague matches. He is currently working toward a return for the 38th EuroLeague round home game against Armani Milano on April 16. The team remains focused on his rehabilitation timeline.
