Carsen Edwards had just spearheaded Virtus Bologna’s offense with 21 points and 5 three-pointers, as they rallied to defeat Anadolua Efes Istanbul, 99-89. In doing so, Virtus made history by draining 18 triples in the game, bettering the previous club record of 16, set in 2023 against AS Monaco.

Virtus sets club three-point record in victory over Efes

“It’s not easy, but I always say, it’s ALL luck,” Carsen Edwards joked. “I just put it up in the air, give it a chance and hopefully it falls in. It’s all luck.”

Edwards had just spearheaded Virtus Bologna’s offense with 21 points and 5 three-pointers, as they rallied to defeat Anadolua Efes Istanbul, 99-89. In doing so, Virtus made history by draining 18 triples in the game, bettering the previous club record of 16, set in 2023 against AS Monaco.

On a night when Basketball City marked the passing of former player and Cup Winners' Cup champion Michael “Sugar” Ray Richardson with a respectful minute of silence, the home crowd was in full voice. The Black V faithful had plenty to sing about, too, in what may be the penultimate game at the Paladozza.

Coach Dusko Ivanovic’s men played a selfless brand of basketball throughout. Virtus had averaged 19 team assists for the season, but managed to dish out 27 against an Efes team that fought to keep up with the effective ball movement.

Alen Smailagic’s well-rounded performance saw him tally 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, while making 5 of his 7 attempts from downtown. Edwards led the way in scoring for the victors with 21, hitting some of the tough shots joked about when it mattered the most. Matt Morgan’s 13 bench points played a huge role and Luca Vildoza sent a game-high 7 dishes to keep his team ticking along.

Returning to his former basketball home for the first time since leaving Bologna in the summer, Efes’s Isaia Cordinier suffered a rough night, going 0-4 from three-point land and logging just 4 points. Shane Larkin had no such troubles, leading the game in scoring with 25, earning 5 assists and committing just 2 turnovers, as he kept his team in the game until the end.

“Our fans help us so much,” Ivanovic stated. “We enjoy it here. Tonight, we won through offense. In the third quarter, we shot excellent and in the last quarter, we played defense a little bit better.”

The excellence of the shooting in this game cannot be overstated. Staggeringly, both teams had made 12 three-point shots by the 26-minute mark. However, Efes was not able to sustain that level of accuracy, unlike its dead-eye opponents. Down the stretch, Efes could not defend the arc and Coach Igor Kokoskov felt Virtus received a little help from above.

“They made some tough shots, some tough threes,” said Kokoskov. “Defending at the three-point line wasn’t really there, but they made a lot of threes, some lucky ones, so God wasn’t really on our side tonight.”

Creating some lasting Paladozza memories, the Virtus fans pulled their team over the line, according to Smailagic.

“Feels amazing, especially with these fans, who are our sixth player,” Smailagic said. “We play much better at home because we feel their love and energy. They push us to give it our all. This is our castle, we have to defend it.”

..and defend it they did. The 10-point victory means that Virtus moves to 5-5 for the season, while Efes slides to 3-7. There will be no rest for the wicked in this double-game week, as Virtus faces FC Barcelona on Friday, after Efes battles FC Bayern Munich just hours earlier.

Kenan Kamenjas erupted for 20 points and 9 rebounds to lead Dubai basketball to a convincing 102-86 victory over red-hot Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade in Round 10 of the EuroLeague

Dubai ends Zvezda’s streak, dedicates win to injured teammate

In his first six EuroLeague appearances, Kenan Kamenjas scored a total of 4 points. Last week, he stepped into the playing time vacated by the injured Mfiondu Kabengele and netted 8 points. And then on Tuesday, the Bosnian big man had his coming out party.

Kamenjas erupted for 20 points and 9 rebounds to lead Dubai basketball to a convincing 102-86 victory over red-hot Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. The victory saw Dubai improve its record to 4-6, while snapping Zvezda's seven-game winning run and knocking the Serbian squad from a share of first place in the standings. 

While that should have been a moment for Kamenjas to celebrate his performance, there were only “we’s” and a tribute when he spoke to EuroLeague TV after the game: “Great victory for us against a good team,, maybe the best team at the moment. We showed good energy from the first minute and we won. We need to analyze this game and need to prepare for the game against Zalgiris on Friday.”

Kamenjas finished his remarks by dedicating the victory to teammate Nate Mason, who recently had surgery for a cervical disc injury sustained last month. And Mason was not only on the mind of Kamenjas.

"I want to say something. I don't think in my career that I ever dedicated a victory to nobody. But this is a special occasional," Coach Jurica Golemac said at the onset of his post-game press conference. "I want to dedicate this product to our teammate Nate Mason, a guy who was with us from the beginning. A wonderful human being. Great teammate, great player. He's had some problems, but we are waiting for him from here. We want him to heal and to come back with us.

"The guys played like they were playing for Nate. Great energy. Great Focus. We were doing the mistakes, but... when you have 15 offensive rebounds against a team like Red Star, when you have 24 assists, that means that you give everything. That you pass the ball to each other, then you trust to each other, and that you were fighting. So great victory."

Dubai outrebounded Zvezda 35-26, with Kamenjas leading the way and Filip Petrusev adding 7 along with 13 points and 6 assists.

Kamenjas wasn’t the only Dubai player to have his finest moment of the season on Tuesday. Aleksa Avramovic, who missed the start of the season to injury, came off the bench to score 17 points. Even more than his stats, his fighting spirit – and that of David Bertans – were big boosts for Dubai.

"Avramovic came back. A very important player for us to give rest to the other guards, you know, an experienced player like I need," Golemac said of the veteran guard before highlighting Bertans.

"I need to say thank you to Davis Bertans, who was struggling with the injury couple last days without practice. He decided to play and this is this is the spirit that is bringing the victories."

TJ Shorts prepares for Paris 'homecoming'

Facing a former team is always a special occasion, but for [TJ Shorts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tj-shorts/012608/), suiting up for [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/) against [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/) at Accor Arena on Tuesday evening especially stands out.

Proudly packing a career full of accomplishments, the 28-year-old point guard signed a two-year contract with the Greens in June. His addition promised scary backcourt depth for coach Ergin Ataman. However, early into the 2025-26 season, Shorts has been struggling to meet expectations, as confirmed by the 59-year-old Turkish play-caller.

[Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/) has announced that guard [Scottie Wilbekin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/scottie-wilbekin/006661/) is dealing with swelling in his right knee and has begun treatment to address the issue.

Wilbekin made his season debut in Round 4 after recovering from an ACL injury suffered on the opening night of the 2024-25 campaign, but he did not feature in [Fenerbahce's Round 9 win over LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-finds-form-defeats-undermanned-asvel/) last Thursday night.

Fenerbahce has not disclosed how long Wilbekin will be out for.

PJ Dozier to miss 4-6 weeks with thigh tear

More games bring more opportunities in the EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge market this week. Javier Gancedo breaks them down.

Fantasy tips, Rounds 10-11: The fun doesn't stop!

It's early November and we are about to enter Rounds 10 and 11 of the EuroLeague Regular Season. A double round gives EuroLeague Fantasy Challenge managers more chances to win prizes, get more victories in the Trophy Cup and climb the ranks, not just in the overall standings but also in all of the many private leagues in the game. First things first, [let's see how my tips went last week](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fantasy-tips-round-9-mid-tier-magic-and-value-finds/). I am not a fan of pointing out my own mistakes, but here I go.

I didn't go for any of the biggest stars in the game. My most expensive choice was Moses Wright of Zalgiris Kaunas, who scored 20.9 fantasy points and earned 0.3 credits. Rodions Kurucs of Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz had a score of zero and lost 0.3 credits. Isiaha Mike of FC Bayern Munich (15.4 points, 0.2 credits gained) and Quinn Ellis of EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (15.4 points, 0.3 credits gained) did well while Joel Parra of FC Barcelona (3.0 points, 0.2 credits lost) was a poor recommendation last week. Three wins, two losses.

Without further ado, let's recommend five more players for the double-round week.

Saliou Niang, Duane Washington, Nadir Hifi, Armel Traore and Wade Baldwin are featured in this week's article. 

Fantasy tips: Rounds 10-11

### Duane Washington, Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (8.6 credits)

[Duane Washington](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/duane-washington/013370/) has stepped up big since Carlik Jones went down due to injury. In the last five games, Washington has averaged 17.8 points, 4.0 assists and a PIR of 14.6. Partizan plays at home against Monaco and on the road against ASVEL, and it is a good chance for Washington to keep shining. Biggest bargain in the game?

### Nadir Hifi, Paris Basketball (13.8 credits)

At the start of the season, consistency was a key issue for [Nadir Hifi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nadir-hifi/012640/) when it came to the Fantasy Challenge. Well, not anymore. Hifi has been sensational all season long, getting a double-digit PIR in every single games and at least 16 in each of the last four games. At 13.8 credits, he is the cheapest superstar in the game.

### Armel Traore, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (8.0 credits)

[Armel Traore](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/armel-traore/010319/) comes off a monster performance last week. Despite his team's loss and many injuries, Traore came off the bench to get 18 points on perfect shooting, 5 rebounds and a PIR of 25. He followed that up with a good performance in the French League, amassing 10 points, 4 assists and a PIR of 13 in 23 minutes.

### Saliou Niang, Virtus Bologna (9.1 credits)

[Saliou Niang](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/saliou-niang/012687/) had a career-best performance against Baskonia, finishing the game with 18 points, 12 rebounds and a PIR of 35. He has been really effective throughout the campaign, hitting 73.3% two-pointers and 85.7% free throws without taking any three-point shot so far. Expect him to keep delivering in the near future.

### Wade Baldwin, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (12.2 credits)

[Wade Baldwin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/wade-baldwin-iv/009863/) faces Bayern, one of his former teams, in Round 10. That is always a plus, but it's not the main reason why I am recommending him. He has been rock-solid all season, averaging 14.4 points, 5.9 assists and a PIR of 16.9. Baldwin is determined to keep making good things happen for the reigning champs.

Round 10 of the EuroLeague gets underway on Tuesday, signalling the start of another thrilling double-round week of action. Here’s an overview of the upcoming games.

## Tuesday, November 11

### Dubai Basketball vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (17:00 CET)

Zvezda (7-2) will attempt to extend its seven-game winning sequence with a trip to Dubai (3-6). Zvezda’s unstoppable duo of Codi Miller-McIntyre and Chima Moneke has been enhanced by a promising start from recent signing Jared Butler, who combined 8 points with 4 assists in last week's thrashing of Panathinaikos. The visiting team will also need a strong performance in the paint from Donatas Motiejunas against former Zvezda star Filip Petrusev, who has recorded double-digit scoring and PIR in every game this season. Dubai, which has lost four straight, will also look for another big scoring night from Dwayne Bacon after his 34-point outburst in last week's loss to Hapoel, while recently signed shooter Boogie Ellis will attempt to maintain his form after netting 18 and 16 points in his first two games.

### Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul vs Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv (20:00 CET)

Maccabi (2-9) will attempt to climb away from the foot of the standings by conquering inconsistent Fenerbahce (4-5) in a game relocated to Munich. Maccabi has lost three straight despite a potent offense which ranks third in the league in scoring with an average of 90.7 points per game and second in assists (21.2 per game), powered by the constant scoring threat of Lonnie Walker (14.9 points per game). Fenerbahce will hope veteran Nicolo Melli can continue to help control the tempo after his 12 points and 9 rebounds led the way to last week's win over ASVEL, while the orchestration of Wade Baldwin (5.9 assists per night, fourth in the league) will be important in piling more misery on Maccabi’s league-worst defense (96 points per game allowed).

### Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv vs. Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (20:05 CET)

Co-leader Hapoel (7-2) will attempt to retain that status with a visit from resurgent Baskonia (3-6). The Spanish team will be confident as it comes off three consecutive home wins powered by the energy of Hamidou Diallo (13.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game) and the consistency of shooter Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who has scored at least 16 points in every game this season. Hapoel leads the league in scoring with 90.9 points per game thanks to impressive shooting accuracy: 59.2% from two-point range and 39.5% from deep, second and third best in the competition respectively. Veteran playmaker Vasilije Micic is central to that process after netting double digits in seven straight games, including 19 in last week’s win at Dubai – Hapoel’s fifth triumph in six games.

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. AS Monaco (20:30 CET)

High-flying Monaco (6-3) will attempt to keep climbing in the fervent atmosphere of a trip to Partizan (3-6). The visiting team has won three straight behind the leadership of new all-time PIR leader Mike James, whose 34 points allowed Monaco to survive last week's overtime thriller at Maccabi. Partizan, however, has slipped to four straight losses despite the strong form of Duane Washington, who averages 17.8 points over the last five games. This game presents a contrast of styles with the home team ranking last in the league in assists (16.3 per game), while Monaco tops that metric with 21.3 per night. Nick Calathes will try to improve Partizan’s output as he faces his former club, but will beware of the ball-hawking skills of Alpha Diallo (1.4 steals per game, fourth in the league).

### Virtus Bologna vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (20:30 CET)

Struggling Virtus (4-5) will seek home comforts with a visit from equally suffering Efes (3-6). The Italian team has suffered three consecutive heavy defeats on the road, scoring just 65, 70 and 76 points in those games. Last week’s double overtime heartbreak against Milan means that Efes has lost four of its last five games, hampered by an offense which has struggled for fluency with just 16.6 assists per game. PJ Dozier will hope to stay hot after exploding for 34 points last time out, while Virtus forward Saliou Niang delivered a similarly spectacular performance with 18 points and 12 rebounds in the Round 9 loss at Baskonia. In the paint, Efes forward Ercan Osmani has a big role after averaging 6.4 rebounds in the last three games.

### Valencia Basket vs Real Madrid (20:30 CET)

An all-Spanish affair will see Real (5-4) attempt to keep climbing the standings with a tough trip to direct rival Valencia (5-4). Real forward Trey Lyles will pose a big threat to the home team after averaging 19.8 points over the last four games, including 29 in last week’s morale-boosting *Clásico* triumph at Barcelona. Valencia has won three of four at home behind a power-packed offense which ranks second in the league with 90.7 points per game, led by the consistency of sharpshooter Brancou Badio (13.5 points per game). The battle for inside supremacy between the likes of Matt Costello and Walter Tavares could be crucial: Real has the league’s fourth-best two-point conversion rate (57.8%), with Valencia not far behind (56.5%).

### Paris Basketball vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (21:00 CET)

Two teams aiming to bounce back meet in the French capital as Paris (4-5) targets snapping a three-game losing streak with a visit from Panathinaikos (5-4). The Greens, who have lost three straight on the road, will be determined to make a fast start after a dismal first half in last week's loss at Zvezda, and all eyes will be on playmaker TJ Shorts as he returns to face his former club – his backcourt battle with ex-teammate and league leading scorer Nadir Hifi (22.1 points per game) promises to be a great spectacle. Another key battle will take place in the paint where Dinos Mitoglou is among those needing to help Panathinaikos’s injury-hit frontcourt control Paris's ferocious offensive rebounding (16.4 per game, easily the most in the league), led by Momo Faye (2.1 OR per game).

## Wednesday, November 12

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:15 CET)

A big battle in Piraeus will see fourth-placed Olympiacos (6-3) attempt to overcome co-leader Zalgiris (7-2). The Lithuanian team made it four straight victories with last week’s triumph over Valencia, chiefly thanks to a stellar defense which has allowed just 68.5 points during that winning run. That defense will be chiefly tested by Sasha Vezenkov, who has scored at least 12 points in every game this season. Thomas Walkup also excelled in last week’s win over Partizan, scoring 15 points, and he will have a key role defensively against Zalgiris playmaker and league assists leader Sylvain Francisco (14.9 points and 6.8 assists per night). The paint promises a big battle between two of the league’s best big men, Nikola Milutinov (11.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game) and Moses Wright (12.9 ppg and 6.1 rpg).

### FC Bayern Munich vs. FC Barcelona (20:30 CET)

In-form Bayern (5-4) will seek a fourth straight win with a visit from Barcelona (5-4). The hosts will look for Andreas Obst (14 points per game) to repeat the sharpshooting that saw him set a league record by draining 11 triples in last season's meeting between the teams, while big man Wenyen Gabriel hopes for another strong performance after scoring 12 points in last week’s win at Paris. Barcelona needs to bounce back from last week’s Clasico loss to Real Madrid, and can again run its offense through Nico Laprovittola following his return from injury. Barca has the league’s second-best three-point conversion rate (41.1%), so the likes of Will Clyburn and Kevin Punter will hope to outshoot Obst and Isiaha Mike, who has multiple triples in four games straight.

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (20:30 CET)

Milan (4-5) will look to build more momentum against an ASVEL team (2-7) which is desperately hoping to turn the corner. The injury-hit French team, which is still targeting a first road win of the season, can hope for more inspiration from center Armel Traore after his 18 points without a miss in last week’s loss at Fenerbahce. But ASVEL also needs others to step up and improve the league’s lowest scoring offense (77.2 points per game). Milan showed its spirit in a double overtime victory over Efes in Round 9, when Shavon Shields extended his record of double-digit scoring in every game with 24 points. Another plus was Zach LeDay’s return from injury, and he will look to dominate the frontcourt against an ASVEL team ranking next-to-last in rebounding (31.9 per night).

Seven games take place on Tuesday, followed by three on Wednesday

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv has bolstered its backcourt by signing veteran combo-guard Iffe Lundberg, the club announced. 

Maccabi inks veteran guard Iffe Lundberg from Partizan

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv has bolstered its backcourt by signing veteran combo-guard [Iffe Lundberg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/iffe-lundberg/010781/), the club announced. 

Lundberg (1.93 meters, 29 years old) arrives from Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, where he averaged 7.9 points and 3.0 assists in 26 EuroLeague games last season as a part-time starter. He also helped Partizan win the Serbian and ABA Leagues. Lundberg was under contract at Partizan for the current season, too, but did not appear in any games

Maccabi will be Lundberg's fourth EuroLeague club after he played two seasons each for CSKA Moscow and Virtus Bologna, before joining Paritzan in the summer of 2024. He has career averages of 9.0 points and 2.2 assists in 129 games in Europe’s premier competition.
