Khem Birch knew what it was like to lose a EuroLeague Championship Game and made sure he made the most of his second opportunity, eight years later.

[Khem Birch](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/khem-birch/007182/) knew what it was like to lose a EuroLeague Championship Game and made sure he made the most of his second opportunity, eight years later. 

Back in 2017, Birch made it to the EuroLeague Championship Game with Olympiacos Piraeus, losing against [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/). He only returned to the competition this season, a campaign in which Birch played a key role for Fenerbahce, grabbing rebounds and being an effective scorer despite seeing limited playing time. 

After losing in the 2017 EuroLeague Championship Game, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul center Khem Birech made sure he finished the 2024-25 season in style.

2025 Final Four highlights: Khem Birch, Fenerbahce

Throughout the Final Four, Birch was highly effective, taking care of small details and guarding some of the most dangerous big men in the competition. In the semifinals against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, Birch had a two-handed dunk early in the game and grabbed 4 rebounds, two of which came on the offensive end. Birch set the tone on defense as Mathias Lessort, Omer Yurtseven and Wenyen Gabriel combined for just 13 points against Fenerbahce's frontcourt. 

Birch was equally effective in the Championship Game against AS Monaco, taking over in the first half with a big block against Matthew Strazel and a tip-in. He finished the game with 6 rebounds, 3 on each end of the court. One of his offensive boards allowed Devon Hall to bury a critical three-pointer that put Fenerbahce on the right track to win the game, 64-56, with six minutes remaining. 

Birch and his teammate Dyshawn Pierre became the second and third Canadians to win the EuroLeague, following in the footsteps of Anthony Bennett, who lifted the trophy in 2017 – also with Fenerbahce.

After recovering from a knee injury that kept him out for most of the 2023-24 season, [Arturs Zagars](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/arturs-zagars/008104/) bounced back in his first year with [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/) by becoming a Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champion.

Fenerbahce signed Zagars in the summer of 2023 but decided a loan move to Wolves Vilnius would help his development. However, after just one BKT EuroCup appearance for the Lithuanian side, his season was over. He then worked on his rehabilitation in order to be ready for his first campaign with Fenerbahce.

Arturs Zagars: Tribute to the Champs

The 25-year-old had a highlight moment in Round 2 by netting a late three-pointer against domestic rival Anadolu Efes Istanbul that all but secured a road win for Fenerbahce, while he became a crucial member of coach Saras Jasikevicius’s squad once the injuries started to mount up. Zagars continued to impact games, mostly off the bench, until the end of the regular season, finishing with averages of 5.9 points, 1.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 14:54 minutes across 22 games.

Although Zagars did not feature for Fenerbahce in the postseason, be that the playoffs or the Final Four, his performances in the regular season played an important role in helping the team lock up the second seed, which proved key as Coach Jasikevicius’s men brought a second EuroLeague title to the club.
