Summer ended early for the Euroleague Basketball family of referees with the 33rd Clinic for Euroleague Basketball Officials last weekend. The four-day-long event, which began on August 29, saw the men and women who will oversee the games this season in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the BKT EuroCup meet for physicals, rules discussions and analyses, breakout sessions and much more in Zagreb, Croatia.

Zagreb hosted the annual Clinic for Euroleague Basketball Officials

Some 68 referees were on hand for the clinic, including four newcomers: Manuel Attard of Italy, Stefan Calic of Serbia, Sergio Manuel of Spain and Christian Theis of Germany. This marked the second such clinic under the guidance of Daniel Hierrezuelo as Euroleague Basketball Director of Officiating.

“The annual clinic is essential for maintaining the high standards we expect at Euroleague Basketball. It’s not just about the rules but about sharing knowledge and experiences, fostering teamwork, preparing mentally and physically, and ultimately delivering the best officiating for the league,” Hierrezuelo stated.

The list of experts invited to lecture at the clinic featured Euroleague Basketball President Dejan Bodiroga, former Euroleague Basketball Senior Director of Officiating Mr. Costas Rigas, Spanish national team head coach Sergio Scariolo, Euroleague Head Coaches Board President and former EuroLeague champion Dimitris Itoudis, Euroleague Head Coaches Board Executive Director Goran Sasic, ELPA Head of Player Relations Walter Jeklin, sports psychologist Mar Rovira, and physical trainer Gianluca Mazzoncini.

There were lectures on IRS reviews and rule changes for the coming season. The referees also met in smaller groups to dive deeper into video analysis, proper mechanics on the court, injury prevention, and self-improvement, among other topics. Each official also underwent eye exams, fitness checkups and rules tests. And by the end of the clinic, they were all better prepared for the exciting season that awaits!

Europe’s premier referees gathered in the Croatian capital to prepare for the 2024-25 season

The 2024-25 edition of the EuroCup Fantasy Challenge, the official fantasy game of the EuroCup, is now active.

The EuroCup Fantasy Challenge is back and better than ever

Fans of the [EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge](https://fantasychallenge.page.link/game) are in for a treat heading into the 2024-25 season. Several improvements have been made to the overall experience, which should bring fantasy managers even closer to the action.

On Wednesday, September 4, the official fantasy game of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague goes live. That gives fantasy managers just a few weeks to get their team – or teams – ready ahead of the 2024-25 EuroCup season getting underway on Tuesday, September 24.

For those familiar with the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge, the basic will remain the same. Fantasy managers get 100 credits per team to build a squad of four guards, four forwards, two centers and one head coach. Teams will earn points each round based on the performances of their players in the actual Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and BKT EuroCup games in that round. Managers can make a limited number of player swaps after each round. And the best teams are eligible to win prizes!

So what is new for the 2024-25 season? The app and website have been given a makeover, offering an updated look and feel that is in line with the thrills and spills of the EuroLeague and EuroCup seasons. There has been an adjustment made to trades, too. Ahead of each round, excluding those where unlimited trades are available, fantasy managers can either trade four players and retain their manager, or they can trade three players and change their manager.

There’s more. Players whose teams had their game postponed will no longer have their score doubled if they are selected as the captain; this avoids a situation where a fantasy manager can guarantee a certain number of points from that player. 

Last but not least, EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge managers can converse with one another for the first time by joining a WhatsApp or Telegram group called League Chat, with the administrator able to add the link for both private and public leagues.

The list of available prizes for the 2024-25 season includes tickets to games, official EuroCup jerseys and basketballs, subscriptions to EuroLeague TV and more, highlighted by the grand prize: two VIP tickets to the 2026 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four, as well as a EuroCup jersey of his choice, a EuroCup official Spalding basketball and a EuroLeague TV subscription for the 2025-26 season.

Registration opens soon, so get ready to compete against over one hundred thousand basketball fans across the world and prove you have what it takes to succeed in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge.

A shot-blocking specialist, Banks is a BKT EuroCup newcomer


Aris signs center James Banks

Besiktas made it to the EuroCup Semifinals last season and now wants much more.

Games to Watch: Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul

When it comes to the BKT EuroCup, there is no time like now for Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul, which reached the semifinals last season for the first time in 10 appearances in the competition.

Besiktas has a strong fan base and has kept a core of players led by head coach Dusan Alimpijevic. Here are some of the key dates in the upcoming 2024-25 regular season.

### Round 2: A rare Istanbul derby

Besiktas ranks 14th in EuroCup games played with 120. Only three of them have come against Turkish teams, however. In 2008, Besiktas registered a painful 60-61 loss against archrivals Galatasaray Istanbul in a do-or-die quarterfinal showdown in Turin, Italy. In the 2014-15 campaign, Besiktas lost twice against Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir.

Coach Alimpijevic's squad take on Bahcesehir College Istanbul on October 1 is the first-ever EuroCup game between two Istanbul-based teams played in that city which is, by definition, special.

Wolves rallies past Besiktas in the final 23.3 seconds.

### Round 6: Finally on the road

In addition to that Round 2 game against Bahcesehir, Besiktas plays four of its opening five games in Istanbul. That means that Besiktas will not leave Turkiye until it visits Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius in Round 6 on October 29. It is also a game that is marked in red for Besiktas and its fans.

Last season, Wolves grabbed a 90-88 home win in the Lithuanian capital behind 31 points from Tre'Shawn Thurman. It was its only loss in the opening six games, and Besiktas led 80-87 with 21 seconds remaining. Expect Besiktas to be fully focused and show its best version in this game.

These sides have been longing for form, with the Spaniards losing three of its last four EuroCup encounters, while the visitors concluded with three straight defeats. Besiktas are leaders in offensive rebounding with 13.3 ppg, while Gran Canaria ranks fourth-worst in protecting its backboard.

### Round 17: A high-profile showdown

In a rematch of last season's eighthfinals, Besiktas comes up against Dreamland Gran Canaria, having beaten the then-reigning champion 78-80. Besiktas visits Gran Canaria on January 29, 2025, with barely one more game to play in regular-season action.

Coach Alimpijevic and playmaker Derek Needham are set to visit Gran Canaria Arena for the fourth consecutive season, too. Needham played there with Mornar Bar, Bursaspor and now Besiktas. It can be a critical game to clinch a playoffs spot or a top-two finish in their regular-season group, so keeping an eye on the tie-break advantage could be as critical as the win.

Aris BC has confirmed the signing of Josh Roberts on a one-year deal.

Aris signs Josh Roberts

Aris Midea Thessaloniki has confirmed the signing of Josh Roberts for the 2024-25 campaign.

In college, Roberts suited up for St. John's University between 2018 and 2021 before heading to Manhattan College, where he remained between 2021 and 2023.

Buducnost is back to the BKT EuroCup for its 18th campaign in the competition.

Games to watch: Buducnost VOLI Podgorica

This is the fifth consecutive season for [Buducnost VOLI Podgorica](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/buducnost-voli-podgorica/roster/bud/?season=2024-25) in the EuroCup, and its 14th over the last 15 years. 

A four-time quarterfinalist has not won a postseason game in three years, and has not gotten past the regular season last season. The team lead by coach Andrej Zakelj intends to change that, but it has a tough task in a group with several main contenders, but also some familiar faces.

Here's a look at three Buducnost games you don't want to miss.

### Round 2: Home opener against a contender

It is always important to start a campaign on the right foot, especially on home floor. For some team that's almost an imperative, but things get even more difficult when you are welcoming [Dreamland Gran Canaria](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/dreamland-gran-canaria/roster/can/?season=2024-25) for your home opener.

The two teams have plenty of history and have played each other 10 times in the EuroCup over the years, including in each of the last three seasons. Of those 10 games, Buducnost has won only once, but it was in their last meeting back in February, a regular-season finale in which Coach Andrej Zakelj's team led by as many as 23 points behind a career game of Kenan Kamenjas. Buducnost fans would love to see a re-run of sorts to open the new campaign on home floor.

The towering Nikola Tanaskovic inspired a crucial success over Trento with 19 points and 8 rebounds, but to reach the playoffs Buducnost must beat faltering reigning-champ Gran Canaria, who have lost two of the last three, but holds fond memories of its last game against the hosts: a 97-70 blowout.

Buducnost VOLI Podgorica-Dreamland Gran Canaria | Round 18 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup

### Round 5: Welcoming Dejan Radonjic

It will be a familiar faces visiting Moraca in Round 5 when [Bahcesehir](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/bahcesehir-college-istanbul/roster/bah/?season=2024-25) comes to town led by head coach Dejan Radonjic. The Turkish side has put together a strong roster and does not hide an ambition to make noise in its return to the EuroCup, and one of the best ways to make noise is to win on the road in games like this one.

For Buducnost, it will already be its third home game, and second against an ambitious opponent. In addition, it will be against a coach who knows the team really well. Radonjic might have not coached Buducnost for more than a decade, but make sure he knows how the team plays and all its strengths and weaknesses. This should be a delight to watch.

### Round 15: A tough home test down the final stretch

[Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/roster/hta/?season=2024-25) enters the season as the on-paper favorite, having put together a star-studded roster that will be attacking the EuroCup crown. It is very likely also that Buducnost will be once again fighting for one of six playoff places, so welcoming a title favorite in its penultimate home regular-season game must already be circled on the calendars in Podgorica.

Buducnost plays at home only twice in the last six rounds, and this game is first of the two. Teams want to win down the final stretch of the regular season, and this game against Hapoel will be the one that tells us how ready is Buducnost, and what it will be capable of.

Buducnost VOLI Podgorica added size and muscle into the paint by signing center Udoka Azubuike, the club announced Monday. Azubuike (2.12 meters, 24 years old) has last played with the Phoenix Suns in the NBA where he has appeared in 16 games last season, and in limited action averaged 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds.

Before his season with the Suns, the first three years of his professional career he spent between the NBA side Utah Jazz and their G-League affiliate Salt Lake City Stars. In total, over the past four seasons, Azubuike has played 85 games in the NBA, and eight in the G-League.

Prior to turning pro, Azubuike was a star at University of Kansas, where his senior season he averaged 13.7 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks, and was voted into the All-American Second Team. He is now set for his first season on the European continent, and make his BKT EuroCup debut.
