Jean Montero returns to Valencia as an Olympiacos star
Jean Montero returns to Valencia as an Olympiacos player, facing the club where he became a star.

He has joined EuroLeague champions Olympiacos, who are trying to win the title for a second straight season.

His performance against his former team will offer a glimpse of his new role, though one game will not decide the season.
