John Edwards suffered from a sprained ankle injury and was already sidelined but the reason that he was replaced was that the head coach of Kolossos, coach Sferopoulos, wanted a different type of player in the center position. He wanted a player that could contribute in scoring and so David Monds was signed to help the Greek team reach the playoffs again as they did last season.
