Early career

Tsalmpouris played club basketball with Archelaos Pierikos in the Greek B Basket League, the 3rd level of Greek the basketball system, at the semi-professional level, in the 2013–14 season.

College career

In the 2014–15 season, Tsalmpouris played Division I college basketball for the Iowa State Cyclones team. He was the seventh 7-footer in the school's history.[6] He played in 8 games, and averaged 1.4 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, and 0.1 steals per game, in 4.4 minutes per game.[7] In August 2015, after playing one season with Iowa State, Tsalmpouris left the school, and returned to Greece to play professionally.[8]

Professional career

In August 2015, Tsalmpouris signed a five-year contract with the Greek Basket League club AEK Athens.[9][10] Tsalmpouris then became automatically draft eligible 2 years early, due to having played a year of professional basketball, right after a year of NCAA Division I college basketball, as well as previously playing under a start-up national basketball league, before participating in college basketball. So he was thus automatically entered into the 2016 NBA Draft, but was not drafted after two rounds.

In 2017, he was loaned by AEK to the Greek club Kolossos Rodou.
