Olympiacos’ coach Panagiotis Giannakis has sent former Houston Rocket guard Von Wafer home after clashing with one of the coaching staff.

The problem with Wafer comes days before Olympiacos plays some very important games against Partizan and rivals Panathinaikos.

Before signing with the Greek powerhouse, Wafer had clashed with Rocket’s coach Rick Adelman over playing time during the 2009 NBA playoffs. Adelman sent Wafer out of the gym for his insubordination.

Von Wafer, who along with fellow NBAer Linas Kleiza was signed by the Greek club over the summer, is averaging 7.7 pts in three Euroleague games thus far. Wafer played five seasons in the NBA, averaged 6.2 points in 13 minutes a game.
