Turk Telekom Ankara brought back the anchor of its frontline with the news that center Kyle Alexander has returned to the team for one more season.
Alexander (2.08 meters, 28 years old) shined in the 2024-25 BKT EuroCup campaign, leading the competition in blocks with 2.2 per game and ranking third in rebounds with 6.8 per game.
Alexander also averaged 9.6 points as he helped the team from the Turkish capital reach the EuroCup Quarterfinals where Turk Telekom lost against Alexander's former team, eventual champion Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv.
Over the past two seasons, the only two he has competed in the EuroCup, Alexander has accumulated 263 rebounds and 69 blocks, more than any other player in the competition over that span.
Alexander arrived to the Turk Telekom a summer ago from Hapoel, where he averaged 10.6 points, a fifth-best 7.4 rebounds and a third-best 1.5 blocks in the 2023-24 EuroCup season.
The big man started his professional career with the Miami Heat in the NBA and also played for Sioux Falls of the G-League, as well as Baloncesto Fuenlabrada and Valencia Basket in Spain before joining Hapoel in the summer of 2023. He made his EuroLeague debut with Valencia in the 2022-23 season and averaged 5.7 points and 3.1 rebounds.
As a member of the Canadian national team, Alexander won a bronze medal at the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
