From 50 in the NBA to leading Bahcesehir: Malachi Flynn’s journey

Things in Europe are very new for Malachi Flynn, who is spending his first season on the Old Continent. Shifting his focus from an NBA career, the Bahcesehir College Istanbul point guard will always know that he can score. He proved that by scoring 50 points in an NBA game.

Flynn has already made a strong transition to the European game as he is averaging 18.6 points for the first-place team in Group A in the BKT EuroCup. The 27-year-old made 223 appearances in the NBA, and none left as big an impression as the game on April 3, 2024.

Flynn started the 2023-24 season with the Toronto Raptors and around the New Year was moved to the New York Knicks. Then, in early February 2024, he was traded to the Detroit Pistons. The 1.85-meter-tall guard totaled just 41 points in his first 12 games with the Pistons. He averaged 11.4 points over the next five and then came the road game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Flynn was given the starting nod and he started on fire. The Pistons were trailing the entire game and Flynn was just trying to keep the team close. He hit shot after shot and got one pass after the next and in the end, he poured in 50 points - albeit in a 121-113 loss. Flynn made 18 of 25 shots - including 5 of 9 from long range - to go with 9 of 12 free throws. He added 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

“The biggest thing is I wish we would have won the game. It would have felt a lot better if we won and not had 50, but at the end of the day, it was a good performance,” said Flynn.

“It was just an ordinary day, honestly. I didn't know if I was going to play or not that day. I found out a couple of minutes before game time that I would. And the hoop just got bigger and bigger. I got some easy buckets, and before I knew it, it was there.”

He became the third player in NBA history to score 50 points as a reserve, joining Nick Anderson and Jamal Crawford.

“It was definitely something cool to look back on. And coming off the bench and doing it with Jamal Crawford was real cool because he's someone who I've looked up to in the area of Tacoma and Seattle,” said the Tacoma native.

Flynn, who was born and raised in Tacoma, said he had scored 46 points in a high school game but otherwise nothing close. He said it’s not a shock that he scored 50 points with players pouring in 60 and 70 points nowadays, and he knowing his scoring and shooting abilities.

But the performance does give him the confidence to know that he can do as much scoring as his team needs.

“I'm not saying I'm gonna just go out and score 50 all the time, but I think I'm capable of putting the ball in the hole or making plays for others. It's just sometimes about situation, opportunity, and I feel like I'm a player that can have those type of games.”

That was the best performance in his five-year career, which saw him bounce between the NBA and G League. After half a decade of going back and forth, Flynn was ready to give Europe a try. And he had those lessons of the unknown to help him be prepared for his season with Bahcesehir.

“I'd never been in Europe, so I am just kind of going with the flow, seeing how it is out here. The games are a little different and I am just going game by game and trying to learn the game, see the differences and then just continuing to be open to new things because it's a different league and a different style,” said Flynn, who has also averaged 4.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.9 steals through his first seven EuroCup games.

One teammate who has helped his adjustment is Matthew Mitchell, who Flynn played alongside in his final season at San Diego State University.

“It’s great. Even just off the court, being around Matt, being around him from San Diego State to now, nothing’s changed. He’s a great person to be around. And for me, my first year coming overseas, it made it a little easier just kind of knowing, being familiar with someone that I was already around and someone that I trust to give me the feel on things,” Flynn said.

Flynn’s first game in European competition was already a special one as Bahceshir was taking on U-BT Cluj-Napoca. And playing at the other end was Nathan Mensah, who played with Mitchell and Flynn at SDSU in 2019-20 and helped the team put together a 30-2 record.

“That year in San Diego was all special for us. We got to know each other really well. And then it’s crazy how life works. I end up teaming up with Matt five years later, and then our first game, we play Nate. So it’s just funny to see how life works,” Flynn said.

It’s all part of a new life experience like the one he is experiencing with Bahcesehir.

Paris Basketball-Valencia Basket | Round 11 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv forward TJ Leaf elevated his team over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, 89-83, in Round 11 of the EuroLeague

T.J. Leaf lifts Maccabi over embattled Baskonia

“Today, we had lapses when we didn’t look like a team, but we got the win and that’s all that matters,” said T.J. Leaf, when asked about Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv’s third win of the season on Thursday night. Despite his team-first comments, the forward will be pleased with the way he elevated his team over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, 89-83.

Coming into this game at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall, Leaf averaged 9 points, 5 rebounds and an assist over 10 games. He had reached double figures in scoring just three times. In his team’s recent loss to Fenerbahce, Leaf logged only 6 points and 5 boards, only to explode offensively two days later.

Leaf added 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals to a 19-point scoring performance. He was perfect from the three-point line, making all 3 of his attempts from beyond the arc. Despite being such an active participant, he committed just a single turnover. Maccabi fans will hope that the performance marks something of a breakout and that the big man can sustain that level of performance for the rest of the campaign.

The teams went back and forth from opening tip, with Maccabi earning the early advantage. Despite the hosts’ consistent scoring, Baskonia refused to go away. Timothe-Luwawu-Cabarrot kept his team in the game for a while, through versatile scoring. Midway through the third quarter, the visitors enjoyed an offensive run that edged them closer, before levelling the game in the final minute of the third.

However, Maccabi found a second wind shortly after the final period began, which Paolo Galbiati’s men couldn’t deal with. Baskonia’s head coach felt his team struggled with their opponent’s style of play.

“Maccabi is one of the best teams on offensive rebounds. They are aggressive, also dirty and they take advantage of that,” Galbiati said. “Unfortunately, we gave them too many second opportunities because our defense was not perfect. On offense, we can do better, but it was not a bad game. We missed wide-open shots, it’s part of the game.”

Though he stood out, Leaf certainly wasn’t alone in earning the win. Jaylen Hoard’s 17-point, 11-board double-double added a hefty punch for the Maccabi team, while Jimmy Clark, Lonnie Walker, Roman Sorkin and  Jeff Dowtin also finished in double digits.

Coach Oded Kattash did not understate how big a victory it is and seemed satisfied by his team's performance for the majority of the contest.

“Very important and good win for us,” Kattash stated. “I liked the way we reacted and executed the game-plan. Most of the game, we played the right way, but lost confidence a little bit in the second half. It wasn’t easy for us to close the game, but hopefully we gain confidence. We have to keep improving.”

The result moves both teams to 3-8 for the season, as they attempt to climb from the bottom end of table. Maccabi will hope to carry its newly-found momentum to Basketball City, where it faces Virtus Bologna next Friday. Baskonia will face a tough clash with FC Bayern Munich on the same night.

The big man netted a personal-best 19 points to pace the Israeli club

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv-Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz | Round 11 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

Kenneth Faried was dominant again in Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens’s 77-87 win at Real Madrid, this time against Edy Tavares – one of the finest bigs in EuroLeague history.

Faried provides the ‘medicine’ as Panathinaikos completes week with statement win

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens kicked off the 2025-26 season with three top centers on its roster in Richaun Holmes, Mathias Lessort and Omer Yurtseven. Yet, luck has not been on its side, with Holmes and Yurtseven suffering respective injuries and the much-anticipated comeback of Lessort being postponed due to a setback.

The Greens looked under the weather in an 86-68 thrashing at the hands of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade last week, but the cure would come all the way from Taiwan in the form of Kenneth Faried.

The 35-year-old landed in Athens earlier this week and spent just one day practicing with his new teammates before hitting the road. Panathinaikos was desperate for an energy boost and Faried provided just that, taking the EuroLeague by storm in his first week as a PAO player.

After recording a double-double of 17 points and 10 assists away at Paris Basketball, Faried was dominant again in Panathinaikos’s 77-87 win at Real Madrid, this time against Edy Tavares – one of the finest bigs in EuroLeague history.

“Our management did a great job of finding Kenneth Faried,” Ergin Ataman told EuroLeague TV after the game. “He was like a medicine for us, because in the games that we lost, we played without centers. It’s very difficult to play with only \[Konstantinos\] Mitoglou on the 5. With Faried, we found the aggressiveness on defense and on offense, we found the balance on the boards and offensive rebounds. I think he was the key for this mental change and now the team is more comfortable and we feel much better.”

Faried did everything on the floor, producing a Lessort-esque outing on Thursday night. He went 6-for-8 from inside the arc and 4-for-6 from the free-throw line to end the game on 16 points, including back-to-back monster dunks in front of Tavares.

“\[This last week has been a\] rollercoaster,” Faried admitted on EuroLeague TV. “I flew in from Taiwan to Greece. Got a practice there with my teammates. Next thing I know, I’m playing two EuroLeague games now, and we won both, so it’s a happy moment.”

He also grabbed 8 rebounds, 4 of which were on the offensive end to provide his team with valuable extra possessions.

“For me, as a basketball player and just as an individual, I try to work my tail off every day and just try to stay in the best shape,” he added. “Trying to showcase that it doesn’t matter your height, it doesn’t matter how old you are even. If you can still play this game, you can still play this game.”

Faried was assisted on the court by a sublime TJ Shorts, who pulled off his finest performance in a green shirt. Following a slow start to his spell in Greece, the Panathinaikos guard ended the game on a season-high 19 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds.

“Slowly finding my rhythm, slowly finding my place,” Shorts said after the game. “Like I said earlier in Paris, gaining the trust of the coach and taking steps in that direction. And this is the result.”

Coming into the double-round week on the back of three straight road losses, Panathinaikos received a huge boost in morale by grabbing a statement victory over a fellow title contender. The Greens tightened up their defense and conceded the fewest points they've allowed in a EuroLeague game this season away at a Real Madrid side that had won all of its first five home games of the campaign.

“\[Winning two road games in a double-round week\] is huge,” Shorts noted. “It’s a confidence booster. It shows that we can play at the highest level when we are focused. Playing obviously against a very experienced team, a very great team in a hostile environment. And being able to pull out a win on the back half of the double week is huge for our confidence going forward.”

With Faried and Shorts bringing in the energy, Panathinaikos improved its record to 7-4. And taking into account that all its next three games are set to take place at Telekom Center Athens, Ataman’s team has what it needs to keep its momentum going.

Nadir Hifi found the way to make the difference in what will go down in history as one of the most furious finishes this season as Paris ended up edging Valencia 90-86 in come-from-behind fashion.

Hifi made things happen down the stretch 

It was looking like a rough night for Paris Basketball in general and for [Nadir Hifi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nadir-hifi/012640/) in particular. Valencia Basket came with a game plan to stop him, which worked really well for the best part of the game. However, Hifi found the way to make the difference in what will go down in history as one of the most furious finishes this season as Paris ended up edging Valencia 90-86 in come-from-behind fashion.

Valencia head coach Pedro Martinez started defensive specialist [Isaac Nogues](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/isaac-nogues/010162/) to guard Hifi, using his physicality and energy against him. After Nogues committed up 2 quick fouls, [Brancou Badio](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/brancou-badio/007527/) and [Omari Moore](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/omari-moore/014115/) took turns on Hifi, who could not find a way to the basket. Paris did not find answers elsewhere, reaching halftime with a poor three-point shooting percentage (3 of 18, 16.7% 3FG). Valencia outrebounded Paris by 16-24 in the first half, including 9 offensive boards.

After a surprisingly low-scoring first quarter (15-14), Valencia found its rhythm to break a club record. [Josep Puerto](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/josep-puerto/006643/) struck three times from downtown and everyone followed, as Valencia made 6 of 8 three-point shots in the second quarter to reach the 35-point mark. Its previous highest score in the second quarter of a EuroLeague game was 32 points against Zalgiris Kaunas on October 27, 2023, en route to a 72-87 road victory.

From 79-86 to 90-86, Paris Basketball finished its Round 11 game against Valencia with an 11-0 run! 

Paris rallies past Valencia

Valencia managed to keep the lead throughout much of the second half. By the time [Nate Reuvers](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nathan-reuvers/012738/) became the eighth Valencia player to sink a three-pointer, the visitors seemed to have the win in its bag, leading 79-86 with less than 3 minutes remaining. Hifi, however, had other ideas and found ways to be effective on offense right when it mattered most.

He got help, of course. [Jeremy Morgan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/jeremy-morgan/010431/) drained a highly contested three-pointer over [Darius Thompson](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/darius-thompson/011078/)'s defense. After Badio missed at the other end, Hifi finished a four-chance Paris offense by drawing a three-point shooting foul. He made all three attempts to get his team within 2 points. On Paris's next offense, Hifi buried his trademark step-back three-pointer to give Paris a 87-86 lead. The hosts had not lead since [Mouhamed Faye](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mouhamed-faye/012403/)'s alley-oop dunk made it 19-17.

It all came down to the final play. Hifi held the ball, looking to be fouled. When it was evident that Valencia would not send him to the line, he found [Sebastian Herrera](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sebastian-herrera/012611/) for a catch-and-shoot three-point shot. Nothing but net. Paris finished the game on an 11-0 run to beat Valencia and snap a four-game losing streak.

"We made a stop. We ran it. After that, Seba \[Herrera\] made a crazy shot. Thank you, Seba!," Hifi said after the game.

Hifi had 6 points an an assist in that run. He did not have his best shooting night, making just 4 of 15 field goal attempts, but ended up with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for a PIR of 16.

"It was very difficult for us to get our rhythm against a very good team. We just found a way to win this game. We made a lot of mistakes. I don't know how we won this game, but finally we found a way. We are super happy for this win," Hifi said. 

"First, I didn't have a good game. Yes, I made very big shots to lead it but I made too many mistakes and got frustrated with my teammates. We are a team. We have been together for 40 minutes. I'm very proud of this."

The 23-year-old guard stepped up when it mattered most


Nadir Hifi made things happen down the stretch against Valencia

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade swiftly got back to winning ways with a sound 91-79 victory against visiting AS Monaco to improve to 8-3 after Ognjen Dobric and the club’s latest acquisition Jared Butler came up big in their team’s hour of need. 

Dobric, Butler power Crvena Zvezda to impressive win over Monaco

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade swiftly got back to winning ways with a sound 91-79 victory against visiting AS Monaco to improve to 8-3 after Ognjen Dobric and the club’s latest acquisition Jared Butler came up big in their team’s hour of need.

With seven major players absent through injury, Zvezda dug deep to brush Monaco aside on the back of an electrifying fourth quarter as Dobric matched his career-high with 22 points and Butler, who joined Zvezda three weeks ago, poured in 20 to delight a passionate home crowd inside the Belgrade Arena.

With big man Chima Moneke the latest casualty sidelined by a groin injury, a shorthanded Zvezda held its own throughout the opening three quarters and then hit top gear in the fourth, bouncing back from the previous round’s reverse at Dubai Basketball.

Trailing 42-46 at halftime, Zvezda fought back in the third quarter on the back of fantastic shooting from Dobric, and Butler took over the mantle in the fourth as he was unstoppable on offense. The hosts shot an enviable 12-of-18 from downtown and made amends for hitting a mere 15-of-27 from the foul line, having also dished out 20 assists against just 11 turnovers.

Dobric, who was cold-shouldered and almost reduced to a perennial bench warmer by Coach Sasa Obradovic’s predecessor Ioannis Sfairopoulos, seems to be enjoying a second lease of life as he served up a vintage display. Shooting 7-of-9 from the floor and 4-of-4 from the line, Dobric turned the tide in the third quarter before Butler sealed the win with a combination of dazzling layups and long-range shots down the stretch.

“We put a whole lot of energy out on the court and showed a totally different face than we did in the previous game,” Dobric said in his postgame comments. “We deserved to win after putting up a great fight, it’s a big one for us and I hope we’re going to continue like this.”

Obradovic, who has rejuvenated his boyhood club Zvezda after taking over from Sfairopoulos after a 0-2 start, heaped praise on his men after they overcame adversity to stay among the top teams in Europe’s premier club competition. 

“Congrats to my team, they did an amazing job, especially in the second half,” he said. “Without seven major players on the roster, we found a way to win and I am really proud of my guys. We have now raised the bar and expectations will be running high, but we’ll be up for it. I know what I’ve got on this roster in terms of talent and ability, so we just have to keep working hard and hopefully stay healthy,” he added.
