Dubai against Hapoel looked like a close contest on paper. It ended in a 97-83 home win, with Filip Petrusev leading the scoring and playing a major part in the result. His performance deserves a little more attention before the EuroLeague schedule moves us on to the next game. The Serbian big man finished with […]
Exactly 11 years ago, on October 28, 2015, Nikola Jokić made his NBA debut. He played four minutes and scored two points in Denver’s win over Houston. After the Nuggets’ recent game in New Orleans, he was reminded of that debut and asked whether he remembered how he scored his first basket. He answered without […]

Chima Moneke is thriving under Ibon Navarro and emerging as a standout figure in Crvena Zvezda’s surge. Remember those Facebook statuses from a few years ago, when everyone seemed to be “feeling something” in a particular place? Well, this one would read: “Chima Moneke is feeling unstoppable in Belgrade”! The Nigerian power forward is in […]
Real Madrid are rolling at an extraordinary pace, and their six-game winning streak is giving Pedro Martínez plenty of reasons for optimism. Against Fenerbahçe, they also delivered the emphatic answers the entire club needed. A few days ago, the discussion on SKWEEK centred on Real Madrid’s offensive machine, which had started to warm up. Their […]
Ibon Navarro has the kind of problem every coach would love to have. Everyone is healthy, almost everyone is playing well, and somebody has to miss out on the 12-man roster every game. It’s a nice problem to have, but it also means Navarro can hardly go wrong with his selections. Crvena Zvezda have just […]
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. In just 13 minutes, Christian Koloko rejected five Bayern shots, sending the already electric Belgrade Arena crowd into a frenzy. Koloko had only joined his new teammates at the beginning of the week. Crvena Zvezda head coach Ibon Navarro even joked that the Cameroonian center didn’t know all his teammates’ […]
Garrison Mathews had the opportunity to send Olimpia Milano’s EuroLeague clash with Panathinaikos into overtime, but his final three-point attempt missed everything. With the score at 78-75 in favor of the Greek side in the closing seconds at Telekom Center Athens on October 27, the American guard found himself wide open beyond the arc. The […]
He made an excellent start to last season, his first in the EuroLeague. Then a pulmonary embolism kept him off the court for months. When he returned, he wasn’t quite the same – as a player, physically or in terms of confidence. When Ibon Navarro took over at Crvena Zvezda, many wondered whether he could […]
Moses Wright’s return to Athens ended with Armani Olimpia Milan suffering a narrow defeat to Panathinaikos, but it also provided an opportunity to discuss his connection with Greece, his Olympiacos past, his career decisions and the unusual circumstances surrounding his Barcelona situation last summer. Speaking to SKWEEK after Milan’s 80-75 loss at Telekom Center Athens, […]

A changing of the guard is underway when it comes to who takes responsibility for Barcelona down the stretch. For several seasons, Kevin Punter was the undisputed go-to option whenever a game reached crunch time. But the impact of undersized American point guard Justin Robinson since joining the Blaugrana has been remarkable in that regard. […]
Partizan’s early-season momentum has nearly disappeared in less than a month. After nine rounds, Partizan is 4-5, having come away without a win from road trips to ASVEL and Žalgiris. In Villeurbanne, it squandered an 11-point lead, in Kaunas, it erased almost all of a 16-point deficit but could not complete the comeback. Two different […]

Barcelona entered the summer of 2026 determined to change almost everything about its basketball operation. After three consecutive trophyless seasons, the Catalan club embarked on a sweeping reconstruction, replacing key figures in management, appointing a new head coach and rebuilding much of its roster. Yet amid all that uncertainty, one player remained central to the […]

It’s hard to react to the news of Jabari Parker’s departure from Partizan with anything but relief. Good, it’s over. After months of unsuccessful negotiations, individual workouts, and enormous financial obligations, the two sides have finally found a way out of a partnership that had long since stopped making basketball sense. It should have happened […]
