Yes, yes, we know. The ball doesn’t make the player. You’ve convinced us. But the jersey? Come on, who are you kidding? Of course players want to feel fresh when they step on the court. They want a little drip, too. We can throw in more Gen Z slang if that helps make our case. […]
In the space of just a few days, Dubai beat Real Madrid (78–77) and Barcelona (94–87) at home, making their ambitions clear. Now comes the first truly major hurdle for Xavi Pascual’s team: a road trip to fellow unbeaten side Fenerbahce (October 2, 20:45). The club from the United Arab Emirates handed Pascual the reins […]

Aris and PAOK enter the new EuroCup from different starting points, with different weapons and two coaches already shaping their teams in their own image. The common denominator, however, is clear: a return to the EuroLeague. Thessaloniki will have two representatives in the EuroCup this season and, for the first time in several years, the […]
His last NBA game ended in a way that is hard to forget. After a drive against Sacramento, he stayed down on the floor holding his left knee, then, with tears in his eyes, made two free throws and walked to the locker room. It was March 3, 2025. Nineteen months have passed since then. […]
European basketball is approaching one of the most consequential periods in its modern history, and Paulius Motiejunas has experienced the forces reshaping it from both sides of the table. For three years, the Lithuanian executive ran Euroleague Basketball at a time when the competition was expanding commercially, entering the Middle East, dealing with investment funds […]
Zalgiris head into the first double week on the back of their impressive road win in Belgrade, while Olympiacos return to EuroLeague action just hours after lifting the Greek Super Cup, facing their first major challenge of the season. The opening round offered a first glimpse of what may lie ahead, but the double week […]
Zalgiris Kaunas has long occupied a unique position in European basketball: a club representing a relatively small market while consistently generating the crowds, identity and relevance normally associated with some of the continent’s biggest cities. In 2026, however, the Lithuanian powerhouse appears to be entering a different phase of its development. The numbers illustrate the […]
Kenny Atkinson has made the Cleveland Cavaliers’ excitement about Mario Hezonja clear, giving EuroLeague clubs eagerly awaiting the Croatian star’s possible release plenty to think about. “Super Mario” completed a hugely successful four-year spell at Real Madrid, reaching three EuroLeague finals and winning Europe’s premier club competition in 2023. The Croatian small forward established himself […]
Weakened contenders or a dark horse? Valencia opened their EuroLeague campaign with a 96–94 road win over Besiktas. Now, the season’s first double-round week gives them a chance to answer more questions against Baskonia and ASVEL. The summer of 2026 changed a lot at Valencia. Almost everything, in fact. The Spanish champions, who reached the […]

There is an easy way to read Olympiacos’ 106-89 win over Baskonia in Vitoria. Sasha Vezenkov scored 22 points, Tyler Dorsey added 25, the pair combined for 47 and the reigning European champions opened their EuroLeague season with an emphatic road victory. But there is another, far more interesting way to look at it. Baskonia […]

The first EuroLeague double-round week usually reveals quickly how much of a team’s summer work is truly ready for the competitive rhythm of the season. There is little time for extended analysis between games, rotations have to handle a heavier workload, and every weakness in the roster becomes easier to expose. Partizan heads to Paris […]

The EuroLeague does not give teams much time to settle in. Just a few days after the opening round, the first double week of the season brings two games in four days and with it a different kind of challenge: adapting quickly, managing the roster and finding a way to reproduce that level of performance […]
