Dubai has a home court that can support lofty ambitions. But to challenge for a Final Four place, it must close the gap between its performances at Coca-Cola Arena and those away from home. Dubai opened its EuroLeague campaign with home wins over Real Madrid, 78-77, and Barcelona, 94-87. Its first road trip brought a […]
Three straight losses to start the EuroLeague season is certainly not a familiar scenario for Real Madrid. All three have come on the road, against Dubai Basketball, Anadolu Efes and Hapoel Tel Aviv. In fact, you have probably read that this is the worst start to a season in the history of the Spanish […]

Four unbeaten teams, a winless Real Madrid and early clues about what lies ahead. The season’s first double-round week highlighted the importance of consistency, multiple options and defense. The EuroLeague’s first double-round week is over, giving us a clearer picture of its teams. Three rounds are too small a sample for firm predictions, but the […]
An All-EuroLeague First Team selection, third in last season’s MVP voting and already putting together another season at a similar level. And yet, Elijah Bryant remains one of the players most easily overlooked when the conversation turns to the EuroLeague’s elite, far more easily than his numbers and impact would suggest. Bryant’s performance against Real […]
Marcus Carr’s buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Virtus Bologna a 96-94 victory over Olympiacos was inevitably the play that attracted the most attention. But the Canadian guard’s overall performance against the reigning European champions was far more significant than one difficult shot at the end of the game. Carr finished with 22 points, 10 assists and […]
Will Carius spoke to SKWEEK about the new season with Peristeri, his work with Vassilis Xanthopoulos and life as an American in Greece, which he shares daily through TikTok and YouTube. Will Carius is not defined solely by what he does between the four lines of the basketball court. The American forward, who joined Peristeri […]
Zeljko Obradovic is instilling his philosophy at Panathinaikos. After beating Paris and ASVEL, the Greens also knocked Maccabi down for the count (90–67). What they can take from their opening run, and why the road ahead demands even more. “Thank you for reminding us what it feels like to be invincible.” Dimitris Giannakopoulos’ message, posted […]
With six seconds left in a highly entertaining game against Olympiacos, Virtus trailed 94-93. After an Alex Mumbru timeout, the final possession went to Marcus Carr. Virtus does not have many EuroLeague veterans on its roster. Daniel Hackett is the most experienced, but he was not on the floor at the time. Derrick Alston might […]
The most striking Spanish presence in the 2026-27 EuroLeague may not be found on the floor at all. It is sitting on the sidelines, holding clipboards, managing rotations and increasingly exporting a particular basketball education across the continent. Seven of the competition’s 20 head coaches are Spanish, an unprecedented figure in EuroLeague history: Pedro Martinez […]

“He knows very well,” Dimitris Itoudis replied when asked what exactly he expects from Vasilije Micić on the court. Last summer, the former EuroLeague MVP signed a three-year contract reportedly worth between €15 million and €18 million. In Year 1, one of the biggest contracts in EuroLeague history did not quite live up to expectations. […]

Three wins in the first three EuroLeague rounds are not enough for sweeping conclusions, but they have already revealed one trait of Joan Peñarroya’s team: this Partizan is very difficult to knock out of a game! For long stretches in Munich, Bayern seemed to have finally found Partizan’s breaking point. The shots were not falling, […]
“Is he injured? Let’s watch him on the bench and see how he’s moving,” Serbian reporters agreed early in the second quarter of Crvena Zvezda’s game against Anadolu Efes. Jared Butler had scored 19 points against Hapoel and 11 against Žalgiris. No player’s decision to stay made Zvezda fans happier this summer. And yet, Butler […]
