 2021-10-20 Rodions Kurucs was one of Partizan NIS Belgrade's marquee signings. The Latvian forward joined Alen Smailagic as the second European and former NBA player signed by the Serbian powerhouse that aims to win a EuroLeague spot through the EuroCup.Smailagic and Kurucs moved overseas at the same time (in 2018), only to return at Zeljko Obradovic's request. "Partizan is definitely a great team with a ...
 2021-10-19 Are Olympiacos Piraeus back? That’s one legitimate question to ask after the first four games, following their 3-1 record in the first fifteen days of Euroleague. It might be still too early to give certain verdicts but wins against Baskonia, Real Madrid and Zalgiris gives huge credibility. Even their overtime loss against Barcelona at Palau Blaugrana was a very close game that went down to ...
 2021-10-19 Under normal circumstances, Jordan McRae would need no introduction. The 1,96 m. swingman, who won an NBA championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, has joined forces with Metropolitans 92, the French club aiming high at both the domestic level and the EuroCup. His career includes so many twists and turns that one cannot but accept that everything is possible. McRae was drafted 58th ...
 2021-10-18 The highest-paid EuroLeague player earns similar to an average NBA salary. The highest valued position remains in the frontcourt, but at least four guards made the Top 10 highest-paid players list. Only three players outside Europe made this list. And don't expect to make the Top 10 until the age of 26. Three of the ten best-paid EuroLeague players wear CSKA Moscow jerseys. That's what BasketNews' ...
 2021-10-18 There has been a busy EuroCup off-season. Virtus and Partizan shook up the market several times and challenged each other by signing famous basketball names. But we cannot sleep on other teams which made significant moves too.
 2021-10-17 In the last few weeks, there have been several interesting transfers moves around Europe, between Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, EuroCup, and Basketball Champions League. Some of them might not move the needle, but others involve players that might create some upside to their teams. So we decided to dig into some of these moves in this roundup to give you a full picture of what’s happening ...
 2021-10-17 No one could ever imagine that Pau Gasol will do what he did during a long and successful journey. Neither the best cinema director could have written a similar script to what the Spanish legend achieved. It is not just about remarkable titles (2x NBA champion and 11 medals with the National Team). Pau was an example off the court. A model for the kids. An idol for the adults. A true competitor. A ...
 2021-10-16 Zalgiris Kaunas put up a fight in their away game against Olympiacos in Piraeus but ultimately succumbed to the hosts after a very bad second half. Currently standing at 0-4, the Lithuanian team must make up for lost ground in the EuroLeague regular season as soon as possible, or else the playoff race will be lost for good. Mantas Kalnietis, one of the most experienced players on the team's ...
 2021-10-15 After the loss against Real, he called his players tourists in Madrid. After blowing up a 19 point lead in Villeurbanne, he told his team reminded him of a mini-basket squad in the second half. Ergin Ataman saw some progress despite a fourth consecutive loss in a row at Mediolanum Forum, but he didn't hesitate to criticize his stars. Anadolu Efes Istanbul surprised AX Armani Exchange by starting ...
 2021-10-15 "That was one of the loudest and most hostile atmospheres in Milan," one Italian colleague smiled during the halftime of emotional AX Armani Exchange and Anadolu Efes Istanbul battle. Two technicals, including one for Ettore Messina and fans almost running on the floor to teach referees, made Mediolanum Forum a difficult place to enjoy a high-level basketball game. It all started boiling up with ...
 2021-10-15 Upon receiving a multi-year deal from Zalgiris Kaunas last summer, Tyler Cavanaugh didn’t have any doubts about where he was going to continue his career. The 27-year-old forward was part of the 2019-20 ALBA Berlin squad, one of the most fun-to-watch EuroLeague teams in recent years, despite the fact that results were usually not on their side. Last season, he played for Lenovo Tenerife in ...
 2021-10-12 AX Armani Exchange Milan head coach Ettore Messina had no idea Kyle Hines doubts about his future. But as soon as he heard his veteran not ruling out the retirement after this season, his reaction was rapid and simple. "I sent him a text last night, and my text was very simple: 'Let's not joke.' He got my text," Messina smiled after a third consecutive EuroLeague victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv ...
 2021-10-12 Last week, BasketNews Fantasy had plenty of surprises. Jordan Mickey’s poor performance, passive displays from Mario Hezonja, Alpha Diallo, and Mike James didn’t allow to increase the team’s budget. From the recommended players, only Ellie Okobo and Vincent Poirier had a price increase. In the first couple of weeks, the Fantasy game showed why it’s so fascinating. You try ...
 2021-10-08 Guerschon Yabusele has been extremely busy lately. After a great Summer Olympics with the French national team, which ended up winning the silver medal at Tokyo, the 25-year-old forward decided to spend at least another season in Europe, signing with Real Madrid. Despite the fact that the deal is for one year, the French international doesn’t seem to be bothered one bit. In fact, he has been ...
 2021-10-07 Marial Shayok did not have to ride the wave that brought a lot of players with NBA experience to Europe last summer. The 54th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft had his breakout year in the Old Continent with Bursaspor of the Turkish Super League, averaging 18.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 12 games. Following his solid finish to the season, Shayok signed a two (1+1) year deal with the ...
 2021-10-06 If Oleksiy Yefimov were a sports journalist again, he would have written a story about the only place where miracles were still happening. He couldn't find another word to describe what the AS Monaco club went through in the last seven years to reach the EuroLeague from the French fourth division. "Honestly speaking, I couldn't even dream about this," AS Monaco GM Yefimov told on the Urbonus ...
 2021-10-06 A true professional. First to come to the practice. Always taking care of his body after it. Low post killer. But very calm and silent guy. That kind of feedback followed Will Thomas for years. So when Thomas terminated his contract with UNICS Kazan on the eve of the season, he shocked European basketball. What had happened? "It wasn't the right fit for me," Will Thomas told on BasketNews Talks. ...
 2021-09-30 Mike James returned to the EuroLeague with a bang. The hype was huge before his first appearance with AS Monaco jersey since it was also the first-ever EuroLeague game for this franchise. However, James fulfilled the expectations. The scoring machine had 11 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists to help his team beat Panathinaikos Athens 75-63. It's not usual to see fans standing up during the ...
 2021-09-29 Shavon Shields, Wade Baldwin, Achille Polonara, Jordan Loyd, and Marius Grigonis are among the most notable names that come to mind when talking about last year's Turkish Airlines EuroLeague breakthroughs. Who will be the players to succeed similarly this year? Compared to last season, this year, we are seeing many more newcomers in the strongest European league. However, there is no shortage of ...
 2021-09-28 The long-awaited week has arrived. The 2021-22 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season will finally start. The title will be defended by reigning champions Anadolu Efes Istanbul. Last year, we talked about the historically competitive EuroLeague, when 19 victories were not enough to make it to the playoffs. This year, fewer victories could be enough to be in the quarterfinals, as the top four have ...
 2021-09-28 Olympiacos Piraeus forward Sasha Vezenkov took part in the BasketNews Talks podcast, where he shared his memories about his childhood and basketball culture in Cyprus and the pleasure of playing with the legendary Vassilis Spanoulis. As Vezenkov told himself, he has three passports – Bulgarian, Greek, and Cyprian. However, he spent the first 14 years of his life in Cyprus. So, could we call ...
 2021-09-27 Israeli powerhouse Maccabi Tel Aviv will begin this year’s Euroleague adventure at home against Bayern Munich on Thursday. Last season, Maccabi won the Israeli league title but failed to qualify for the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague playoffs, finishing at the 13th place at the end of the regular season. The summer brought several new faces, including former NBA players Derrick Williams and ...
 2021-09-26 If there ever were some kind of basketball vocabulary, Dimitris Itoudis picture should be next to the word 'Victory'. Having won two EuroLeague trophies as a head coach of CSKA Moscow and standing at the helm of the Russian team for the 8th season, Itoudis is the all-time winningest coach of EuroLeague (76,4% winning percentage). However, it's not the victories that define you, says Itoudis. Just ...
 2021-09-26 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague teams had a proper marathon of pre-season games (except for Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv), showing some of their strengths and weaknesses. Also, quite a few teams added new players (some even acquired real star power). With all these events accounted for, our BasketNews expert panel produced another edition of Power Rankings. The first edition of our Power Rankings, see ...
 2021-09-25 Before coming back to the training camp in the United States, Giannis Antetokounmpo gave an interview to Cosmote TV, where he spoke about last season's journey with the Milwaukee Bucks, rivalry with best players, the Greek national team, and EuroBasket 2022, which he is already aiming for. Last season Giannis Antetokounmpo became the NBA champion, averaging 30.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 5.1 ...
 2021-09-24 As Anadolu Efes Istanbul prepare for their Turkish League and EuroLeague debut in the 2021-22 season, BasketNews caught up with the team's center and second captain Bryant Dunston to discuss the upcoming campaign for the reigning champs, coach Ataman's rather bold statements, and the lessons he took from the late Dusan Ivkovic and retired legend Vassilis Spanoulis. Bryant Dunston has become ...
 2021-09-24 With the Italian Serie A set to start on Saturday, we decided to produce a Top 10 of the most 'underrated' or 'less popular' profiles. As a result, such players like Nicolo Melli or Dinos Mitoglou did not make the list. But we promise you it's an exciting list nevertheless. As always, it has to be noted that this is a personal selection based on pre-season performances and other subjective ...
 2021-09-23 Zenit Saint Petersburg's guard Billy Baron talked to BasketNews about his role with the revamped Russian team, life without Kevin Pangos and Austin Hollins, die-hard Red Star fans, and the Lithuanian coach who benched him, thus providing him with the best motivation to get to the EuroLeague. If Zenit Saint Petersburg's 2020-21 campaign could take up many pages in the club's history books, Billy ...
 2021-09-22 When Fenerbahce went through a challenging period last year, Jan Vesely didn't come to the locker room with a 15-minute speech. He's not a fan of talking. A 31-year-old center prefers leading by example. It was set for him by the best captain that Vesely ever had. Jan always turned back to him when needed. Still going through a windy rebuilding process, Vesely's leadership is now needed more than ...
