In May 2024, Markus Howard was the most prolific scorer in the EuroLeague, the face of Baskonia’s offense and the recipient of the most lucrative contract in the club’s history. Less than two and a half years later, he is negotiating a departure from Vitoria, having lost his place in the rotation and much of […]

“Super far.” That was Ibon Navarro’s answer when asked how far Crvena Zvezda are from the team he wants them to become. “Very far,” he added. Never too high, never too low. In Serbian sports circles – and hardly only there – two defeats are a catastrophe. But should Zvezda win both games in this […]
Barcelona lost to Zalgiris despite taking a ten-point lead into the final quarter. Bayern paid for a similar collapse against Partizan. The opening four rounds have shown just how costly one bad period can be. Three good quarters give a team a platform to win. The fourth can undo everything. In EuroLeague, handling difficult stretches […]
Željko Obradović returns to Belgrade Arena on Tuesday for the first time since leaving Partizan last November, now as head coach of Panathinaikos.

Željko Obradović returns to Belgrade Arena as Panathinaikos’ head coach, facing Partizan, the club he led for years. Among the players waiting for him will be Carlik Jones, who still has great affection for his former coach but has no intention of making things easy for him. The hug, Jones says, will probably have to […]
Few coaches know the atmosphere inside Belgrade Arena better than Željko Obradović. For years, he experienced it from the home bench. On Tuesday night, he will return to the same building, but this time as the head coach of Panathinaikos and the man trying to beat Partizan. It will be his first appearance at Belgrade […]
Spanish basketball podcast Tirando a Fallar has sat down for an in-depth conversation with Josep María Izquierdo, Željko Obradović’s assistant coach at Panathinaikos.

A ten-point lead disappeared, Zalgiris left Barcelona with the win, and Aleksander Sekulic spoke of lost confidence. SKWEEK looks at the challenge facing a team still taking shape: staying together under pressure. By the end of the third quarter, Barcelona had taken control. They led 65-55, having outscored Zalgiris 47-32 across the second and third […]
Three wins from three games, including two on the road, have made Joan Peñarroya’s team one of this EuroLeague season’s early surprises. Partizan’s opening run becomes more significant when placed in context. A difficult previous season, extensive roster changes and a team trying to establish consistency under Joan Peñarroya. Their first performances are already providing […]
