Bochoridis heads back to Aris

Experienced shooter [Eleftherios Bochoridis ](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/eleftherios-bochoridis/003240/)is heading back to Aris Thessaloniki for the third time ahead of the new BKT EuroCup season, this time on a one-year contract that the club announced on Saturday. Bochoridis (1.96 meters, 29 years old), who started his career with Aris, returns to the club from Panathinaikos Athens where last season he made 17 limited appearances - all but one coming off the bench - in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, and averaged 3.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the Greek League action.

Veteran guard made his debut in the EuroCup as a teenager with Aris in the 2011-12 season. He then joined Panathinaikos in 2014, spending three years with the Greens before returning to Aris. In 2020 Bochoridis moved back to Athens for another stint with Panathinaikos, and now he is making the return journey to Aris once again, which will be his third stint with the club where he grew up.

Bochoridis has totaled 91 EuroLeague appearances during his two stints with the Greens, and he has a career average of 2.8 points and 1.5 assists in just over 12 minutes per game for his career in the EuroLeague action. He also has scored a total of 11 points in five appearances in the EuroCup more than a decade ago. He has also been a member of the Greek national team.

Turk Telekom Ankara: 2023-24 games to watch

It is always a challenge to take on the best teams from the previous season and that's what Turk Telekom Ankara will be facing in this BKT EuroCup campaign. Last season's runner-up has a new team, but its goals remain high. However, after its run last season, Turk Telekom has become the hunted. Every team in [Group B](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/2023-24-bkt-eurocup-group-b-at-a-glance/) has the game against Turk Telekom highlighted on its schedule, and here are a few of those games to pay special attention to.

### A testy home-opener

The first home game of the new EuroCup season is one that fans in the Turkish capital have been eagerly awaiting. Last season, on the way to the finals, Turk Telekom beat Buducnost twice. It was the first time the two teams squared off in 26 years, too. This time, Buducnost comes with big ambitions, aiming to bounce back right away. Turk Telekom knows well that being competitive at home against the strongest teams is a must from the start of the season and Buducnost is one of those strong teams.

### A final rematch

It's the rematch of last season's final in which Gran Canaria prevailed 71-67 to win the trophy. That win in the finals was the third time that Gran Canaria beat Turk Telekom last season. The side from the Turkish capital might have a new roster, with only two players left from last season, and only one who played in the title game, but this is still the clash of the two teams that battled it out for the crown earlier in the year and basketball fans all around had better be ready for this contest.

### Old foes meet again

For Turk Telekom and Aris this is a bit of a rivalry renewed. The two clubs have met six times entering this season, but this season will be the first time they meet in 15 years and the first time Turk Telekom hosts Aris since December 2008. There is always a little extra spice when clubs from Turkey and Greece lock horns, so expect some of that taste in this late-December clash, too.

7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys has continued its preparations for the BKT EuroCup season by inking big man Alen Hadzibegovic, who can play as both power forward or center, and has already gathered plenty of experience in his young career, both in Europe and in Asia. 

Hadzibegovic heads to Lietkabelis

7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys has continued its preparations for the BKT EuroCup season by inking Alen Hadzibegovic. The versatile big man (2.07 meters, 24 years old) who can play as both power forward or center, has already gathered plenty of experience in his young career, both in Europe and in Asia. Last season he played with Zastal Zielona Gora in Poland where he averaged 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks in the Polish League action. He finished his season with Al Sadd Sports Club Doha in Qatar.

That was Hadzibegovic's fourth stint with Qatari League, and he also played on the Asian continent in the 2018-19 campaign with 10 appearances for Gifu Swoops in Japan's lower division.

The big man also spent two years with Runa Moscow in Russia, and had brief stints with Lovcen and Podgorica in his native Montenegro. Hadzibegovic will be making his EuroCup debut this season for a Lietkabelis team aiming to improve upon last season's elimination in the last 16.

Aris adds Ronnie Harrell to the mix

Aris Thessaloniki continued building roster for its return to BKT EuroCup with the addition of small forward Ronnie Harrell, who signed a one-year deal on Wednesday. Harrell (2.01 meters, 27 years old) arrives from Ironi Nes-Ziona of Israel where he posted 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in the Israeli championship last season.

That was Harrell's second year in Israel, after playing with Hapoel Galil Gilboa the previous season. He turned pro in 2019, starting his career in Romania with Steaua Bucharest before moving to Luxembourg to play with Etzella Ettelbruck where he dominated with 28.0 points and 9.9 rebounds in seven appearances. In 2020-21, he played with Palma in the Spanish second division, and ranked second in the league with both 16.1 points and 1.7 steals. Harrell is now set to make his EuroCup debut.

This season will be the fifth consecutive EuroCup campaign for Umana Reyer Venice and the club's sixth appearance overall. Reyer has advanced at least one stage in all but one of those campaigns and qualified for the quarterfinals in 2020 before that season came to a premature end due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As Reyer aims to reach the knockout stages once again, there are many hurdles to overcome. Here are three games that fans should circle on their calendars as they look ahead to the 2023-24 season. 

Umana Reyer Venice: 2023-24 games to watch

This season will be the fifth consecutive EuroCup campaign for [Umana Reyer Venice](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/umana-reyer-venice/roster/vnc/?season=2023-24) and the club's sixth appearance overall. Reyer has advanced at least one stage in all but one of those campaigns and qualified for the quarterfinals in 2020 before that season came to a premature end due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As Reyer aims to reach the knockout stages once again, there are many hurdles to overcome in [Group A](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/2023-24-bkt-eurocup-group-a-at-a-glance/) . Here are three games that fans should circle on their calendars as they look ahead to the 2023-24 season.

### Erasing bad memories

Reyer's 2022-23 EuroCup campaign came to an end in Tel Aviv with a 90-80 loss to Hapoel in the eighthfinals and the returning Reyer players will be eager to get a second shot of winning in the Israeli metropolis. That game is the only meeting to date between these teams and serves as an opportunity for some sporting revenge and to measure themselves against a 2023 quarterfinalist. Visiting Tel Aviv is also always special for Coach Neven Spahija, who served as the head coach of Hapoel's crosstown rival Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv on two separate occasions.

### Protecting the home floor

Reyer’s last game of November could be a pivotal point in the season. The game against Hamburg not only wraps up the first half of the regular season, but also marks the first game of a two-game homestand – one of only two such back-to-back home stretches for Reyer all season. A win here could provide a key mid-season boost to help Reyer start the second half of the regular season in style. Reyer is 5-0 in the EuroCup in home games against German teams with wins against three different clubs.

[Round 17: Umana Reyer Venice vs. Prometey Slobozhanske](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/umana-reyer-venice-prometey-slobozhanske/U2023/161/#comparison)

### Reyer seeks to change a trend

Prometey swept the two regular-season meetings between these teams last season and the second of those games cost Reyer dearly. It was the regular-season finale, which the Ukrainian club took 93-76, with Reyer still on the hunt for home-court advantage for the eighthfinals. This game will be Reyer’s last home game of the regular season and could be a critical contest for both sides. For Reyer fans, a big win here over Prometey could be double sweet as it has the potential at this point in the season to play a significant role in the playoff race.
