Recommended2021-11-17 On March 29, he posted a photo with crutches in his hands after ankle surgery from a hospital in Bordeaux. But now he's breaking other EuroLeague players' ankles with his 9-meter stepbacks and elite scoring. And he has a great partner in crime. ASVEL Villeurbanne's duo, Elie Okobo, and Chris Jones, devastates the EuroLeague as the hottest backcourt in the tournament. Okobo enjoys one of the best ...

Giannis Antetokounmpo was missing because of an ankle sprain while Nikola Vucevic tested ...
2021-11-14 Mario Hezonja was definitely the man to watch when UNICS Kazan visited Athens to face Panathinaikos OPAP Athens. The Croatian international became the center of most attention last Thursday night, as he returned to OAKA in green, yet in a different jersey than the one he used to wear for almost three months during the 2020-21 campaign. UNICS escaped from the Greek capital with their first road win ...
2021-11-14 It has been a while since the last time, but now it looks like Italian basketball is finally back on the International map. The Italian NT had a great summer, winning the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade and then reaching the quarter-finals in Tokyo, AX Armani Exchange Milan reached the EuroLeague Final Four last season and is currently at the top of the EuroLeague table, and the NBA ...
2021-11-11 How can low-budget teams be competitive in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague? The lack of a salary cap makes this task almost impossible. So what should Crvena Zvezda, Zalgiris Kaunas, or ALBA Berlin do? Basketnews' Augustas Suliauskas analyzed the one and only way for poorer teams to compete - the stifling defense of Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade, who currently ranks no.1 after 8 EuroLeague rounds. ...
2021-11-11 If you take a look at the top of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings, you can see several familiar names that usually belong to the EuroLeague elite - Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, AX Armani Exchange Milan, Olympiacos Piraeus... You know, the usual. But there’s another team that finished in 14th place last season and isn’t supposed to be here right now: ...
2021-11-11 Nigel Hayes made a corner three and forced Ettore Messina to call a time-out. Rokas Jokubaitis jumped in to congratulate his teammate on a pair of very famous Russian words we use in Lithuania. He turned back to Brandon Davies and shared fist bumps. Three former Zalgiris players boosted a 14-0 run that put FC Barcelona ahead of AX Armani Exchange Milan (63-61). Barcelona were down by 13 at the end ...
2021-11-10 Following a nine-year NBA and CBA stint, Donatas Motiejunas came back to Europe to bolster AS Monaco's frontcourt. The Lithuanian big, known for his post-up skillset, was selected with the 20th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves but it was with the Houston Rockets that he got to enjoy his brightest NBA days. In the aftermath of his EuroLeague breakout season with Polish side ...
2021-11-09 It was an unusual post-game scene near FC Barcelona locker room. There's a long corridor at Mediolanum Forum that basically belongs to the away team with separate changing areas for players and coaches. Sarunas Jasikevicius and his players were having a serious conversation, and you could hear Barca's head coach disappointment very clearly. Barcelona lost a close game against AX Armani Exchange ...
2021-11-08 Past week’s obvious topic was the general offensive slump in the NBA. While offensive ratings and shooting accuracies are very low compared to recent years, European players made decent contributions to improve the deteriorating effects of such problems. Last night’s Ricky Rubio explosion with eight three-pointers and career-high 37 points was a prime example of this contrasting trend ...
2021-11-06 Olympiacos Piraeus currently find themselves in a group of five teams that are 6-2 in the EuroLeague after 8 rounds. The team coached by Giorgos Bartzokas remain unbeaten at their home court, the Peace and Friendship Stadium, which vividly brings to memory older times when the Reds used it as an impregnable fortress that ultimately pushed them to four Final Fours (2012, 2013, 2015, 2017) in six ...
2021-11-05 A coaching change in October, two new players, one cut, and more to come. Maybe that was just another day at the office for some EuroLeague teams, but it was an improbable scenario at Nemunas basketball island for quite some time. What happened to Zalgiris, one of the most consistent EuroLeague organizations? What we see now in Kaunas is the tip of an iceberg. It all started at the end of the last ...
2021-11-04 For everyone in AX Armani Exchange Milan that Cory Higgins’ shot is still a vivid memory. It hurt back then, and it still does now. That shot denied Milan the possibility to play in the EuroLeague final and, probably, it also erased the mental energy that the team still needed to compete in the Italian league. Milan ended up losing the Serie A final against Virtus Bologna 0-4. Those two ...
2021-11-04 Olympiacos Piraeus are off to a very promising season start in the EuroLeague. Apart from boasting a 5-2 record, this Wednesday, the Reds welcomed the latest addition to their roster, Quincy Acy. In its last contest to date, the Greek team gave a hard-fought battle against Fenerbahce Istanbul (67-65) at the Peace and Friendship Stadium. The game went down to the wire and was decided by a Kostas ...
2021-11-03 One dribble, two dribbles. Going to the left, going to the right. A quick stop on a dime and a pull-up shot. Just like in his childhood, Kevin Punter did it again. This time his signature shot broke the hearts of Joventut Badalona fans in the 7DAYS EuroCup thriller at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall. Partizan's leader scored the last six points of his team, including a game-winner with 4.2 seconds left, ...

2021-10-30 Right from the season's start, Elie Okobo has been turning heads all over Europe. The French guard, who returned to Europe to make his EuroLeague debut at the age of 24 after a short NBA stint, is currently the "hottest" name in the Old Continent. Leading LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in most statistical categories - and most notably in scoring, assists and Performance Index Rating- Okobo is proving ...
2021-10-29 That's about time to call an exorcist into the gym, as we say in Lithuania. Fenerbahce BEKO Istanbul need some outside powers to stop that frustrating streak in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. You wouldn't dream it even in your worst nightmares. Fenerbahce were up by 5 with 38 seconds to play at OAKA (87-82). But after crazy series of events, including two unsportsmanlike fouls in 8 seconds, ...
2021-10-29 Elijah Bryant is still a newcomer in Anadolu Efes's squad, but he's already gotten a good taste of his new team. The 26-year-old guard-forward debuted with the reigning EuroLeague champs in their only win so far in the competition against UNICS Kazan. Bryant was one of the very few who managed to put on a good show (15 points on 6/12 FG in 29 minutes) in what has probably been their worst game of ...
2021-10-28 On Tuesday, AX Armani Exchange Milan faced its first loss of the season in Turkish Airlines EuroLeague against Bayern Munich, the team that Milan knocked off in the playoffs last season after a difficult battle. Even Tuesday’s night game was a really contested one, Milan fought well until the very end, but they couldn’t slow down Corey Walden and Vladimir Lucic - the two main offensive ...
2021-10-28 Anadolu Efes Istanbul doesn't meet the criteria of EuroLeague champions at the beginning of the 2021-22 season. With a 1-5 record after six rounds, Anadolu Efes marks the worst start for the champions in modern EuroLeague history (since 2000-2001). In 20 previous years, neither of the EuroLeague champions started the season with such a lousy record. Real Madrid was closest to Efes in 2015-16 when ...
2021-10-27 It all started eight years ago when NCAA fans began to compare him with The Truth. Some fans joked that Shavon Shields is a headband away from being Paul Pierce, which makes Shields laugh. But they share some similarities in the way they play and how they were accepted in the league. "Take this down," Shaquille O'Neal said to Boston Herald reporter Steve Bulpett, after a tough Los Angeles Lakers ...
2021-10-26 If FC Barcelona have managed to keep their unbeaten EuroLeague (5-0) and ACB (7-0) run so far, Brandon Davies has definitely been one of the main reasons. The 30-year-old center knows the stakes better than most. Residing in the capital of Catalunya since 2019, Davies has become one of the cornerstones in the EuroLeague's best offensive team until now (84.8 points per game). Holding an average of ...
2021-10-26 With the first five rounds of Turkish Airlines EuroLeague already in the books, it’s time to look at some of the players that had a good start of the season, sometimes in a surprising way compared to what were the expectations at first.

2021-10-25 When you meet someone, you can have an overall idea of how he is by just talking to him for 15 minutes. This is what we did with Dyshawn Pierre.

The Canadian power forward is gentle and shares his passion for basketball. His eyes shine when the topic is about the sport ...
2021-10-24 He didn't even suppose to play, but everybody was talking about him. The effects of the unexpected Vladimir Lucic return in FC Bayern Munich lineup made the critical difference for their first EuroLeague win this season. All Zalgiris Kaunas intel told them that Lucic wasn't ready to show up on the floor. Even Andrea Trinchieri wanted to play him only 10-15 minutes. But Lucic was a game-changer for ...
2021-10-21 "Left? Right? Middle?" Andrea Trinchieri asked Zalgiris press officer when he entered the press conference room. "Middle," a longtime Zalgiris worker responded. "Okay, no politics," FC Bayern Munich coach added. He had many reasons to smile because of his first EuroLeague win this season. Left, right, and middle. DeShaun Thomas was not questioning but doing his job in the low-post. His clutchness ...
2021-10-21 "I'm so glad that you have this shit in your hands," Sergio Scariolo used to joke with Nick Nurse. The Italian joined the front row of Nick Nurse Toronto Raptors coaching staff in 2018.
