Olympiacos Piraeus center Moustapha Fall, underwent surgery to correct a deviated nasal septum.
Moustapha Fall, the towering center for Olympiacos Piraeus, has successfully undergone surgery to correct a problematic deviated nasal septum, according to Harris Stavrou from sport24.gr.
The procedure aims to alleviate the issues that have troubled him, allowing him to breathe more easily and perform at his best in the upcoming season.
The French big man had been a crucial part of Olympiacos' lineup last season, featuring in 36 EuroLeague games and starting in 34 of them.
He averaged 7.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 13.4 PIR per game, demonstrating his all-around impact on both ends of the court.
However, Fall's season was not without setbacks. He was forced to miss the finals of last year's domestic championship due to a stress fracture in the fourth metatarsal of his left foot.
Despite this injury, his contributions throughout the season were significant in Olympiacos' strong EuroLeague campaign.
Under the guidance of head coach Giorgos Bartzokas, Fall's recovery and return to peak condition are crucial for Olympiacos' aspirations.
The team will be looking to build on their previous successes and contend for titles both domestically and in Europe.
As Fall recovers from his surgery, the focus will be on his rehabilitation and readiness for the new season.
His presence in the paint, defensive prowess, and ability to facilitate play make him an indispensable asset for Olympiacos.
