Partizan barely had time to properly analyze their defeat in Villeurbanne before having to prepare for another road game. In the first half of the Euroleague double-round week, the Black and Whites missed an excellent opportunity to claim their fifth win, letting a game slip away after seemingly taking control early in the fourth quarter. […]
The new NBA season has barely started, and several teams are already facing the prospect of losing key players for months. The early injuries include collisions, awkward landings, and physical problems that have troubled certain players for years. The causes differ, but the opening week has brought the demands of NBA conditioning and recovery back […]
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, […]
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 […]
Nigel Hayes-Davis offered a striking but entirely accurate assessment after Panathinaikos’ ugly win over Baskonia… Panathinaikos AKTOR beat Baskonia 85–79 at the T-Center to return to winning ways in Europe and stay top of the EuroLeague standings with a 6–1 record. However, their performance on Thursday, October 22, was far from impressive. The Greens struggled […]
Two wins in the space of a few days have eased some of the pressure around Partizan, while also offering an early indication of what Antonio Reeves could bring to the team. The American has only just arrived in Belgrade, but he has already hit a game-winning shot against Spartak in Subotica. Now he is […]
“Maybe I should have a similar conversation with some of you, too. See if I can convince you of a few things,” Ibon Navarro joked when we relayed the words of Crvena Zvezda’s new center, Christian Koloko. The Cameroonian big man had revealed that his conversation with Navarro was one of the decisive factors behind […]

Partizan’s win over Crvena Zvezda ended a three-game Euroleague losing streak and restored some of the team’s confidence. The next step was to carry the strong stretch of play from the derby into a road game against ASVEL, a team that had won just twice in its first seven games. In Villeurbanne, Partizan put itself […]

Three consecutive losses to Real Madrid, Panathinaikos and Fenerbahce left Partizan needing a response in the Belgrade derby. The victory over Crvena Zvezda came after a hard-fought contest, and a few days later, the black-and-whites also defeated Spartak in Subotica. They now head to Lyon to face ASVEL in a much better frame of mind. […]
Crvena Zvezda spent the summer assembling several players capable of creating their own offense, but Ibon Navarro faced an equally important challenge: turning all that individual talent into a cohesive team. Tyson Carter, Jared Butler and Jordan Nwora have enough scoring ability to take over when a game calls for it. For a team hoping […]
One of the storylines to watch on EuroLeague Round 8 was Barça’s trip to Bayern Munich, where former Barça forward Miles Norris was waiting to face his old team after leaving the Spanish club last season. And for much of the game, the American power forward delivered a genuinely surprising performance. Norris put together his […]
Zach LeDay is emerging as Hapoel Tel Aviv’s quiet difference-maker, delivering under Dimitris Itoudis. On a roster featuring Vasilije Micić, Elijah Bryant and Antonio Blakeney, attention naturally gravitates towards the backcourt. Hapoel Tel Aviv has ball handlers with personality, creativity and the scoring ability to change a game. There is a reason its guard rotation […]
