Moustapha Fall, the center for Olympiacos, made the most of Nikola Milutinov’s absence in the win over PAOK.
The team from Piraeus won with a score of 77:63, and the standout player of the match was Moustapha Fall. Achieving a triple-double in European basketball is a rare feat, and he accomplished just that for the team under the guidance of coach Georgios Bartzokas.
Nikola Milutinov missed the game due to an injury, allowing Moustapha Fall to get more playing time. He spent a remarkable 36 minutes on the court, filling up every statistical category. He scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and recorded an impressive 11 assists. In doing so, he became the first player in Olympiacos’ history in the Greek league to achieve a triple-double.
Furthermore, when you look at the entire historical records of the highest level of basketball in Greece, a triple-double had only been accomplished eight times before, making the Frenchman the ninth player to achieve this remarkable feat.
