John Konchar has signed a two-year contract with Olympiacos, the Greek club announced, marking the 30-year-old wing's first professional stint outside the NBA.
The move comes after a turbulent few months for the six-foot-five forward. Traded from Utah to Minnesota in August alongside Cody Williams, Konchar was waived by the Timberwolves. He later inked a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract with the Knicks in September, but the sides parted ways by mutual agreement near the start of training camp for a personal matter. He has been an unrestricted free agent since October 2.
Konchar spent the bulk of his seven-year NBA career with Memphis. Across 363 appearances, he averaged 4.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 17.6 minutes per contest.
Olympiacos, the defending EuroLeague champion after capturing the 2026 title for its first crown in 13 years, has opened this fall's campaign at 5-1. The roster includes Sasha Vezenkov, Donta Hall and Kostas Papanikolaou. The club has been without Evan Fournier due to shoulder and knee injuries, while Tyler Dorsey is serving a month-long suspension stemming from a social media controversy, per BasketNews.com.
