When Dzanan Musa joined Dubai Basketball last summer, he had two goals: first, to change the basketball status of the club from the United Arab Emirates, and second, to prove that he is a leader capable of carrying a team to success at the highest level. EuroLeague Final Four 2022-23: 6.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and […]
Most visitors come to Dubrovnik for the same reasons. They come for the limestone streets polished smooth by centuries of footsteps. For the imposing walls that once protected one of the Adriatic’s most prosperous maritime republics. For the panoramic views that make the climb worthwhile, even after what feels like an endless staircase. And lately, […]
Isaac Bonga is rapidly becoming one of the hottest names on the European market this summer, with his name already linked to Panathinaikos, Olympiacos, Real Madrid and several other major clubs. The 27-year-old German forward, equally comfortable playing at both the “3” and the “4”, has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in […]
When Valencia Basket announced in mid-April 2026 that Brancou Badio had signed a contract extension through the summer of 2029, the move felt less like a routine piece of roster management and more like the formal recognition of a relationship that had been years in the making. For Valencia, retaining the Senegalese guard was not […]
Trey Lyles’ name has become one of the hottest topics on the EuroLeague market, and the answer to the question, “Why is this happening?” was not revealed during the first half of the Athens Final Four Championship Game.

“Let me finish this contract and then I’ll go back to Nikšić and play darts.” Bojan Dubljević used to say that jokingly when his journey in Spain was just beginning.

Some players are born with the road, in a way, already paved for them. Whether because of their physical tools or sheer talent, they get labeled early. From a very young age, they start appearing in youth national team call-ups, join elite academies or youth categories, and hear, perhaps too soon, that they are destined […]

“At first glance, if you saw Ibon Navarro and Crvena zvezda together, a lot of people would probably scratch their heads. But when you look at what Navarro has done over the last four years in Málaga… it’s been nothing short of remarkable.” Those were the words of Nihad Đedović, a player who has been […]
