Olympiacos and Monaco face roster absences in Euroleague playoffs game three

On May 5, 2026, Olympiacos will face Monaco at Salle Gaston Medecin for Game 3 of their Euroleague playoff series. Olympiacos leads the series 2-0 and is one win away from qualifying for the Final Four, which will take place in Athens at the Telekom Center Athens from May 22 to 24. Tyson Ward will not travel with the Olympiacos delegation due to recurring back pain. Monaco faces significant roster issues, as Alpha Diallo is ruled out for the remainder of the series with a groin injury. Additionally, center Daniel Theis will miss Game 3 due to a finger injury, and Nikola Mirotic remains sidelined for several weeks. Assistant coach Sergii Gladyr confirmed these absences, though noted that Hugo Besson is expected to return for the match. Olympiacos aims to secure their fifth consecutive Final Four appearance, while Monaco seeks a victory to reduce the series deficit to 2-1.
