Three years together were plenty for Olympiacos Piraeus and savvy big man Moustapha Fall to know that they want three more together. On Friday, Olympiacos announced a new contract with the 2.18-meter center that will keep them together through the 2026-27 season, by which time Fall will be 35.
Since Fall joined the Reds in the summer of 2021, they have been to two Final Four together, losing last season's EuroLeague title in the final seconds to Real Madrid. After winning the Greek Derby on Thursday night to sweep archrival Panathinaikos Aktor Athens, Olympiacos is 18-11 and sharing fourth place with the Greens and AS Monaco.
Fall has been central to all that success. He has been a full-time starter since landing in Piraeus and has gone from strength to strength in his 22 minutes on average over 101 games with the Reds. He ranks 24th among all EuroLeague players with a per-game performance index rating of 13.2 per game. The fact that on that top 25 list, only he and Mike James have appeared in 100 games or more attests to his durability as well as his success.
Overall, for the last three seasons, Fall has averaged 7.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 blocks. His 73.1% two-point shooting in that span ranks second in the league, as does his 72.3% career rate inside the arc.
Fall preceded his Olympiacos stint in the EuroLeague with one season at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in his native France. he had started as a pro in 2011 with Poitiers and stayed home to play for Monaco, Antibes and Elan Chalon before moving abroad with Sakarya of Turkey in 2017. He spent the next season at Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar in Russia before returning to Turkey with Turk Telekom in 2019-20. By age 30 he was at Olympiacos and now it stands to become the team where he will have spent more season of his career than any other.
