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.

The duo delivered their best performances of the season as the Serbian team produced a strong fourth quarter 

Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade v AS Monaco (2025-11-13T19:00:00.000Z)

Fenerbahce BEKO Istanbul rolled to a third successive victory with a disciplined performance against Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv on the way to a 74-68 victory.

Defense dominated offense as Fenerbahce downed Hapoel

Thursday’s Round 11 showdown between reigning champ Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul and league leader Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv was always likely to provide a clash of styles, with the Turkish team’s organised and intense defense facing the high-octane and varied offense of former coach Dimitris Itoudis’s men.

The scoreline makes it clear which approach prevailed, as Fenerbahce rolled to a third successive victory with a disciplined performance that limited the usually high-scoring visitors to just 26 field goal conversions on the way to a 74-68 victory.

Hapoel came into the game with a league-best average of 93.2 points per game, ranking second in both two-point shooting (59.7%) and from beyond the arc (41%), and coming off a season-high 114 points in a thrilling win over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz just two days earlier.

But that wouldn’t happen this time as, right from the beginning, it became the slow-paced, low-tempo kind of game that best suited Fenerbahce, with both teams failing to score any points in the first 3 minutes as defenses dominated.

<center>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">TOGETHER! 💛💙<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/YellowLegacy?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#YellowLegacy</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EuroLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EuroLeague</a> <a href="https://t.co/sGRHDm46yx">pic.twitter.com/sGRHDm46yx</a></p>&mdash; Fenerbahçe Beko (@FBBasketbol) <a href="https://twitter.com/FBBasketbol/status/1989093806852174138?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

There were occasional glimpses of Hapoel’s offensive capability, with Elijah Bryant nailing a three-pointer and Johnathan Motley adding a trademark mid-range strike, but on the whole, it was a low-scoring first quarter with the teams combining for just 10 field goal conversions on 32 attempts.

It stayed that way for the start of the second quarter, with neither team managing a field goal for nearly 4 minutes as the scoreboard was only bothered by a small trickle of free throws. And the same pattern stayed in place for the remainder of the first half, which ended with Hapoel edging a 27-28 lead.

Eventually Fenerbahce’s high-quality defense had its reward at the other end with similarly productive offense, after the switch was flicked at the start of the third quarter: Tarik Biberovic and Onuralp Bitim both struck three-pointers while Talen Horton-Tucker scored twice inside during a 14-2 run over the course of less than 5 minutes, giving the Turkish team a double-digit advantage and a degree of control.

Back-to-back three-pointers from Bonzie Colson then kept the home team rolling with a 10-point lead heading into the final period, and although Hapoel threatened to fight back with a burst of scoring from Bryant and Vasilije Micic, Fener’s defense again came to the fore by holding the visitor scoreless for the final 2 minutes.

The Turkish team’s leading scorer on the night was Horton-Tucker with 15 points, and he admitted the game plan was focused on defensive effort.

“Coach told us we had to come out and be physical,” he told [EuroLeague.TV](http://EuroLeague.TV). “We had to play with grit and physicality. Being able to stay physical with them and try to stop them – we know they’re a high-scoring team, so being able to play defense to a high level and stop them was the most important thing and we did that.”

Fenerbahce fans also certainly played their part in a game that had been relocated to Munich but still felt very much like a home game for the Turkish team, considering the large and vocal support they received inside the SAP Garden.

And Horton-Tucker was grateful for that backing, which was also evident in Tuesday’s win over Maccabi, saying: “We miss our fans in Istanbul, but the fans here in Munich were amazing. They gave us a lot of energy and I’m happy we pulled off a double week.”

With three straight wins, Fenerbahce’s early-season troubles appear to be a thing of the past, and the reigning champion is preparing to mount another serious title assault.

The champs held on to top the league-leaders

Check out what the coaches and players are saying ahead of Round 11 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague season.

Pregame quotes hub: Round 11

## Friday, November 14

### Dubai Basketball vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (17:00 CET)

**Jurica Golemac, Dubai head coach**

"Zalgiris is playing amazing. Great team basketball, very physical. We're going to need to play the best game of the season if we want to win at home. We need our fans, we need to be physical, and we need to take care of their qualities, their individual characteristics, and all to play together. Without this, we cannot win the game."

**McKinley Wright, Dubai guard**

"We've got to be able to get stops and slow their guys down in transition. Their two point guards do a really good job of pushing the pace. They're probably the best offensive rebounding team in the EuroLeague, so we've got to keep them off the glass as much as possible. We're going to play through some adversity, some ups and downs, so as long as we stay together and execute the game plan, I think we'll be okay."

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. FC Bayern Munich (18:00 CET)

**Igor Kokoskov, Efes head coach**

"Anadolu Efes is facing a very good challenge on Friday. Bayern Munich is an experienced team with a very deep roster. We need to continue to compete as team. Effort will never be an issue for us. Even in this difficult time when we miss some players, we need to learn how to close the games as a team. We need to execute better in the crunch time as a team. We need to continue trusting each other and believe in the final result!"

**Nick Weiler-Babb, Efes guard**

"It will be a tough game and Bayern Munich is playing good basketball. We need to be the more physical team and stick together for 40 minutes."

### 

**TJ Parker, Bayern coach**

"We know and have prepared ourselves for a very, very special schedule ahead. But we have enough players, quality, and confidence to handle it. Efes is in a tough situation, their personnel is limited, and they are forced to play a very different style of basketball. However, they need a home win and will be highly motivated."

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (20:00 CET)

**Zeljko Obradovic, Partizan head coach**

"In the EuroLeague, no team can count on a win in advance. ASVEL is a team that changes a lot on defense, switching from zone pressing to different types of zone defense. We have to try to play in transition and enter our offense as early as possible so we don’t let them set up what they’re used to. They’re missing some players, just like we are, so I think that’s an important characteristic of this game. We need to stay focused and try to apply all the good things we showed in the game against Monaco to this one as well."

**Shake Milton, Partizan guard**

"For us, it's just about executing offensively and defensively and to continue to grow as a team and play together. I think we are able to do that and that we’re good. Sometimes the away games are tricky, but for us that’s a perfect opportunity to come together."

### FC Barcelona vs. Virtus Bologna (20:30 CET)

**Oscar Orellana, Barcelona interim head coach**

"We were told that we had reached an agreement with Xavi \[Pascual\]. I am very happy that he has joined us as a coach. He is a person from here, who knows the club and what it means to be here. I did not have the option to work with him directly, but I did have the option to see him train a lot. I think it is a spectacular signing for the club. Now we just have to focus on the upcoming games and on Sunday, when Xavi arrives, we will put ourselves at his disposal to help him with everything he asks us. Now we just have to focus on tomorrow's game. We know we are playing twice in 48 hours but now we will try to focus on tomorrow's game. It is a home game, in front of our fans, a EuroLeague game. I think it is a brutal experience, because the fans return to the Palau to reconnect with the team and try to fight for the victory. I am convinced that if we show the predisposition, the confidence and the hustle that we showed yesterday, we will surely fight to win. Virtus will be a very tough opponent. They have improved their physicality, signing a lot of physical players to make the team really aggressive on defense. We can use many different defenses, all of them very aggressive, with a lot of physical contact. Therefore, we will have to be very serious in attack, we will have to be very organized, very aware of what we want to play, in order to have clear shooting options and be fluid on offense. And on defense, I think we have to follow the path we have been following yesterday: our opponents should not get easy baskets. We should try to improve the things that we did not do well yesterday, such as the turnovers and the offensive rebounds allowed, which were easy points for them. There is not much room to work on many things, because we played yesterday and then again tomorrow. We have to put emphasis on those things that we can do better than we did in yesterday's game."

**Nicolas Laprovittola, Barcelona forward**

"Xavi \[Pascual\] is a great coach and he will come here to help us. We are all trying to bring the team's best version. He will start on Monday, that is what I was told, and we have to think about being better, improve, compete as much as possible and win as many games as we can. I believe that he knows the club and its mentality really well, so I think he will surely do well. Yesterday's win has to give us a lot of confidence. We have to believe in our team and in all the players that we have. We have to believe in each other and play a solid game, fight hard like we did in Munich. We have to looking forward to returning to Palau, connecting with our people and turn our home into a fortress. We will have another chance to Friday. I am feeling better, trying to be as healthy as possible. My best rhythm will arrive, I am not 100% yet. I have to be patient but as long as I can help the team, I will be there: talking, leading and doing the best that I can."

**Dusko Ivanovic, Virtus head coach**

"Barcelona is one of the best teams in Europe. The recent coaching change they’ve just gone through will surely give the team the strength for a positive reaction, with a change of mentality from the players, who will want to demonstrate their worth on the pitch and show that they can play at their best. I think we’ll need to be ready for the high level of energy they’ll bring tomorrow. We’ll have to show that we’re not just a good team at home, but that we can be good anywhere."

**Saliou Niang, Virtus forward**

"It won’t be an easy game, because we haven’t had much time to prepare properly for tomorrow. However, we’ve done our best, and that’s what matters. We’re facing Barcelona, one of the top teams in the EuroLeague, with players of the highest level in the league. We’re very motivated after the great win against Efes, and that will be the spark that drives us to give our all again tomorrow."

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (20:30 CET)

**Ettore Messina, Milan head coach**

"I'd like to express our full support to Keenan Evans; we're deeply saddened by what happened to a great player and a very good person. Olympiacos is the team with the most consistent roster in recent years, so they are capable to play with the eyes closed, using a defense that can be suffocating at times thanks to the guards' ability to crush you and put pressure, especially on the perimeter players. We'll have to try to be ready to deal with this type of pressure and adapt to the multiple offensive options they can adopt. Unfortunately, we're in an emergency situation where we don't know who will be able to play. With so many players doubtful, tomorrow morning we'll figure out what roster we can use."

**Georgios Bartzokas, Olympiacos head coach**

"We want to be competitive everywhere, to fight for the win and to do the best we can — to keep improving throughout the season and handle difficult situations. Milan is obviously a good team. Every team in the EuroLeague is strong and well-coached. According to the information we have, most of their players will be available tomorrow, except for Brown, if I’m not mistaken. It will be a high-quality game. We always struggle in Milan, and especially if we play with less physicality than our opponent, we’ll have problems."

**Tyson Ward, Olympiacos forward**

"In the game against Milan, we have to do what we did in our previous wins — play Olympiacos basketball and give everything on defense. That’s very important for us, as the EuroLeague keeps getting more competitive. We must continue to stop our opponents defensively, and then everything else will fall into place."

## Thursday, November 13

### Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade vs. AS Monaco (20:00 CET)

**Nemanja Nedovic, Monaco guard**

"Playing against Crvena Zvezda will definitely be a special moment for me. It's very special to return to the arena where it all began for me, in my hometown. I'll try to focus on the game, as I know how to do. The key will be to stay focused on ourselves and on basketball, to block out everything else, the atmosphere, the stands... We have to focus on executing our game plan, and that's not an easy task in such a noisy and heated environment. Crvena Zvezda is a team that has regained its confidence with Sasa Obradovic. We know what to expect."

### Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:00 CET)

**Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fenerbahce head coach**

"Another difficult game for us. Hapoel is one of the leaders in EuroLeague. They started the season in a great shape. Obviously, very clear roles. The guards take many responsibilities. Incredible offensive rebound numbers, incredible size with Motley playing fourth position. And then the versatility to change the defenses and to present to different lineups."

**Talen Horton-Tucker, Fenerbahce guard**

"We've just got to come out and follow the game plan. We know that they are a high-paced team with a lot of good guards and some pretty mobile bigs, so being able to come out and play as hard as we can and get out in transition and play to our strengths is something that we need to do."

**Dimitris Itoudis, Hapoel head coach**

"Fenerbahce is a team with many qualities, and we have great respect for that .This game against the defending champions is one of the biggest challenges for us in the EuroLeague, and we want to face it with full motivation and concentration in order to compete with one of the best teams in the league."

**Chris Jones, Hapoel guard**

"This game is going to be another big test for us. It’s about making key defensive stops, continuing to share the ball, and staying aggressive - both individually and as a team. No matter how the game goes, teams will have their runs, and things might not always go our way, but if we stick together, I believe we’ll always give ourselves a fighting chance."

### Real Madrid vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (20:45 CET)

**Sergio Scariolo, Real Madrid head coach**

"We are looking forward to tomorrow's game with great excitement and enthusiasm. We are playing against what has arguably been the best team of the last couple of years, with two Final Four appearances and one title. Panathinaikos has great players, a perimeter with up to three very good ball handlers on the court, with an MVP-level star like Kendrick Nunn and other great players like Sloukas, Grant, and TJ Shorts, who was the star of last season and has added a lot of quality and speed to their outside game. They have big forwards like Juancho Hernangomez, a very talented and competitive player, Osman, likewise, and they have added another former NBA player, Kenneth Faried, who had a huge impact in his first game, in Panathinaikos's road win in Paris. They are a team with many weapons, many experienced and high-quality players, whom we like to face now that we have been accelerating our progress. We want to give our fans a great game on our home court."

**Gaby Deck, Real Madrid forward**

"Tomorrow we will try to play our best against a great opponent, a very good team that is coming off a win and played well in their last game. We have to try to stay focused, do our job well, and play hard for the full 40 minutes because we are expecting a very demanding game. We hope to play well, rise to the occasion, and put in a good performance at home in front of our fans."

**Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos head coach**

"We had very good contributions from many players \[in Paris\], and I hope that will continue in Madrid. \[Kenneth Faried\] is a very experienced player, a very positive player. My first impression, I really liked his character. He's really positive. There is no question about his quality. This guy had a great career in the NBA, and he played against me in 2014 when I was coaching the Turkish national team at the FIBA World Cup. He played on the U.S. national team with Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Tyson Chandler, with many star players. He has this quality. I think he likes the team, he likes the club. For sure, that kind of player likes the atmosphere of the EuroLeague, so I hope he will continue like this. He gave us something we missed, especially after we lost Mathias, Holmes and Yurtseven to injury.

"It's not a surprise for me \[that TJ Shorts played well in Paris\] because players are not robots. They have some feelings. This guy has a great past in Paris, in both the EuroCup and the EuroLeague, and especially in the last quarter, the last five minutes, he showed his character and was very important offensively. He showed in Paris that he is a winning player. I hope he will continue like this."

**Alex Samodurov, Panathinaikos center**

"It will be a difficult game — we know that, and we have prepared accordingly. We must remain focused for the full 40 minutes and perform very well defensively in order to win this game."

### Paris Basketball vs. Valencia Basket (20:45 CET)

**Yankuba Sima, Valencia center**

"The EuroLeague schedule is very demanding. There's no time to feel sorry for yourself when you've lost a game or two in a row. But you can't get too carried away when you're doing well either, because you play every two or three days. It's a very physical competition in which every game is very difficult to win. Yesterday's victory was very important, but now we have to wipe the slate clean because we're traveling to Paris. They're a very tough team to play, especially there. They're a team that likes to run a lot and also takes a lot of shots from the three-point line. They're a very physical team. We'll prepare as best we can for the game in Paris, but I think we're in good shape. Hopefully we can put in a good performance there too."

### Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (21:00 CET)

**Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach**

"We are coming off a tough loss, so I want to see a good reaction. We have to start the game focused and aggressive, especially defensively. Baskonia wants to play a high-tempo game. They want to attack offensively, there are a lot of movements in their offense. A lot of threes that come off of movement, so we need to be really concentrated. Five players playing defense, five players boxing out. It's very clear that when we control the boards, the defensive rebounds, it's something that really helps us."

Dubai brings in Matt Ryan

Dubai Basketball has announced the signing of Matt Ryan on a deal until the end of the 2025-26 season.

Ryan (1.98 meters, 27 years old) has split his career between the NBA and the G League to date. Last season, he averaged 1.5 points in a limited role off the bench across 19 games for the New York Knicks, as well as 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steal in two G League appearances for the Westchester Knicks.

The American swingman has played in 82 regular-season games in the NBA, which came with the Boston Celtics (2021-22), Los Angeles Lakers (2022-23), Minnesota Timberwolves (2022-23), New Orleans Pelicans (2023-24), and the Knicks (2024-25).

"Dubai Basketball is creating something special," Ryan told Dubai's official club media. "I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the club as my first experience in the EuroLeague. I’m here to compete and help my teammates as we strive to win at the highest level and make our fans proud."

Entering Round 11, Dubai sits in 15th place in the standings with a 4-6 record.

## Thursday, November 13

### Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade vs. AS Monaco (20:00 CET)

Sasa Obradovic's Zvezda (7-3) is seeking an immediate return to winning ways with a visit from his former team, Monaco (6-4). Both teams saw their winning runs ended earlier this week, with Zvezda needing to sharpen up defensively after allowing 102 points at Dubai, while Monaco needs to erase the memories of three poor opening quarters in a loss at Partizan. A key question is whether Chima Moneke, who didn’t play on Tuesday, will be able to go up against Nikola Mirotic, who led Monaco’s attempted comeback in Belgrade with 17 points. Zvezda big man Donatas Motiejunas will be motivated to dominate the paint against his former team, while visiting shooter Elie Okobo is seeking a quick return to form after going 0-of-5 from the field two days ago.

### Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:00 CET)

Fenerbahce (5-5) will end its temporary residence in Munich by hosting high-flying league leader Hapoel (8-2). Both teams triumphed earlier in the week, with Fenerbahce leaning on 17 points from Wade Baldwin to overcome Maccabi while free-scoring Hapoel again turned on the style to blast 114 points past Baskonia as Elijah Bryant’s 24 points topped seven double-digit scorers. The game will see visiting coach Dimitris Itoudis face his former team for the first time, and he will hope his league-best offense (93.2 points per game) can continue to fire against a Fener defense ranked third in the competition with just 80.2 points per game allowed. In the paint, visiting center Johnathan Motley will hope to dominate against his former team as he faces the experience of Khem Birch.

### Real Madrid vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (20:45 CET)

A heavyweight showdown between two of the last three champions sees Real (5-5) defend its perfect home record against Panathinaikos (6-4). The Greens have already enjoyed one road triumph this week, conquering Paris on Tuesday, while Real suffered another road defeat at Valencia. The battle of the big man will take center stage after they experienced very contrasting fortunes on Tuesday: Kenneth Faried enjoyed a sparkling debut for Panathinaikos (23 points and 10 rebounds), but Real ace Walter Tavares endured a miserable night as he fouled out after contributing 1 point and 4 turnovers. In the frontcourt, get ready for a similarly crucial matchup between undersized playmakers Facu Campazzo and TJ Shorts, who are both recovering their best form after slow starts to the season.

### Paris Basketball vs. Valencia Basket (20:45 CET)

Paris (4-6) will attempt to end a four-game losing streak with a visit from a Valencia team (6-4) aiming for a perfect double round week. It should be a fun encounter between two fast-paced teams, who both love to crash the offensive glass and respectively rank third (89.6 points per game) and second (90.5) in scoring. Expect a frenzy of three-point shooting between two teams who combined for 80 long-range attempts in Round 10 – Sebastian Herrera has made at least three triples in five consecutive games for Paris, while Valencia playmaker Darius Thompson made 4-of-6 from deep to inspire his team to victory over Real Madrid two days ago. Tuesday’s loss to Panathinaikos saw Justin Robinson continue his great form with 22 points, and his backcourt battle with Jean Montero could be key.

### Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (21:00 CET)

Ending the latest double round week with a victory to climb away from the foot of the standings is the target for Maccabi (2-8) and Baskonia (3-7). Defensive efficiency could be decisive in meeting between the two highest-conceding teams in the competition, with only Maccabi (94.8) allowing more points than Baskonia’s (92.6). Tuesday’s loss at Hapoel saw the visiting team welcome back Markus Howard from injury, and he will hope to find his range after making just 3 of his 10 field goal attempts on his comeback. Maccabi’s key weapon is Jaylen Hoard, who has recorded consecutive double-doubles, and his battle with a similarly all-action performer, Baskonia’s Hamidou Diallo (13.5 points and 4.9 boards per night) will be another fun aspect of a game that promises to entertain.

## Friday, November 14

### Dubai Basketball vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (17:00 CET)

Dubai (4-6) is aiming to complete a perfect double round week by downing a Zalgiris team (7-3) eager to get back on track. Aleksa Avramovic's return from injury was one of the factors behind Dubai's impressive win over Zvezda on Tuesday, with the sharpshooter pouring in 17 points on his season debut. The men from the desert also benefitted from a breakout performance from Kenan Kamenjas, who combined 20 points and 9 rebounds and now faces a big battle with Moses Wright – Zalgiris’s paint enforcer continued his great season with 13 points and 10 rebounds in Wednesday’s defeat at Olympiacos. The Lithuanian team made only 6-of-33 three-point attempts in Piraeus, so will hope that deep threats like Maodo Lo and Dustin Sleva can recover their usual accuracy.

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. FC Bayern Munich (18:00 CET)

Two teams attempting to bounce back meet in Istanbul with Efes (3-7) hosting Bayern (5-5). Defeat at Virtus in Round 10 means Efes has lost three straight, despite Shane Larkin maintaining his usual high standards by netting multiple triples in eight consecutive games. Against him in the backcourt, Bayern’s recent recruit Spencer Dinwiddie will be seeking redemption after missing a last-second free throw which could have forced overtime in Wednesday’s loss to Barcelona. In the paint, Efes needs Kai Jones and Brice Dessert to offer more support to Ercan Osmani, while Bayern – which could again be led by assistant coach TJ Parker unless Gordie Herbert overcomes illness – hopes Oscar da Silva can continue his strong form after averaging 7.2 rebounds in the last five games.

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade (20:00 CET)

Partizan (4-6) is looking for a second straight win as it travels to face an ASVEL (2-8) attempting to climb clear of last place. The Serbian team ended a four-game losing streak by holding off Monaco on Tuesday, and will hope that forward Aleksej Pokusevski can continue to contribute after netting a career high 17 points in that nervous win. Recent signing Nick Calathes also showed he is ready to become a more central part of the offense by scoring 10 points, but his defensive skills will be tested by ASVEL playmaker Glynn Watson, who poured in 25 points in Wednesday’s narrow loss at Milan. That game also saw young center Armel Traore again demonstrate his potential with 19 points, and his battle with Tyrique Jones could be pivotal.

### FC Barcelona vs. Virtus Bologna (20:30 CET)

Climbing the standings by achieving a second win of the week is the prize as Barcelona (6-4) welcomes Virtus (5-5). The Spanish team, led by interim coach Oscar Orellana, relied on improved defense and the playmaking of veteran Tomas Satoransky to triumph at Bayern on Wednesday, while Virtus restored its confidence by ending a losing run in emphatic fashion with Tuesday's triumph over Efes. The Italian team will again look for long-range shooting heroics from Carsen Edwards and Alen Smailagic after they both netted five triples in that victory, but Barca leads the league in three-point shooting accuracy (41.5%). A special spotlight will fall on the home team’s forward duo Will Clyburn and Toko Shengelia, who are both facing their former team for the first time.

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (20:30 CET)

Milan (5-5) is aiming to complete a perfect week with a visit from another of Round 10’s winners, Olympiacos (7-3). The Reds will have to show mental resilience after cruelly losing Keenan Evans to another long-term injury during Wednesday’s win over Zalgiris, placing pressure on Tyler Dorsey to stay hot after pouring in 30 points. Milan also has a backcourt star in fine form with Armoni Brooks netting a personal best 24 points to beat ASVEL earlier this week, and the Italian team also needs Leandro Bolmaro to deliver another high-energy performance after he paired 15 points and 8 boards in that triumph. Milan center Josh Nebo has returned to action after missing a month through injury, and his battle in the paint with Donta Hall promises to be explosive.

Five games take place on Thursday night, followed by five on Friday

Through 10 rounds, Elijah Bryant has been the best player on the EuroLeague's top-ranked team. And now, the Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv guard has an accolade to go with his great form. Bryant earned MVP honors for Round 10 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague season with a brilliant performance in his team's 114-80 victory over Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz.

Round 10 MVP: Elijah Bryant, Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv

Through 10 rounds, [Elijah Bryant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/elijah-bryant/009846/) has been the best player on the EuroLeague's top-ranked team. And now, the [Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/hapoel-ibi-tel-aviv/hta/) guard has an accolade to go with his great form.

He scored 24 points, grabbed 9 rebounds and dished 4 assists in amassing a career-best PIR of 38, which was also the best of any player in Round 10. Bryant made 7-of-10 two-pointers and 1-of-2 threes while making all 7 of his free throws. He also drew 8 fouls.

The second-highest PIR of the round belonged to a pair of centers, as [Kenan Kamenjas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kenan-kamenjas/008325/) had a coming-out party for Dubai Basketball and [Nikola Milutinov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-milutinov/003941/) of Olympiacos Piraeus dominated the paint, each posting a PIR of 29. Kamenjas posted 20 points and 9 rebounds in the finest game of his brief EuroLeague career as Dubai bested Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade 102-86. Milutinov helped the Reds overpower Zalgiris Kaunas 95-78 with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

A pair of Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens stars were next on the list of Round 10’s finest. [Konstantinos Mitoglou](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/konstantinos-mitoglou/007866/) scored 17 points on perfect shooting and added 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals for a PIR of 28 in the Greens' 95-101 road win at Paris Basketball. In his first game with Panathinaikos, [Kenneth Faried](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kenneth-faried/011284/) tallied 17 points, 10 boards and 3 blocks for a PIR of 26 to pair with Mitoglou in a fearsome frontline. [Tyler Dorsey](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tyler-dorsey/009849/) of Olympiacos rounds out the list of best performers in Round 10 with a PIR of 26, as he scored 30 points on 5-of-9 three-point shooting.

### Individual highs: Walter Tavares, Real Madrid, 5 blocks

Dorsey was the top scorer in Round 10 with 30 points, which carried him into the top 10 for the season with 16.4 points per game. Nadir Hifi of Paris Basketball sits atop that list with 21.8 points per game.

Faried, Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv’s Jaylen Hoard and Zalgiris's Moses Wright were the only players in Round 10 to grab as many as 10 rebounds. The three were also the only players in the round to post double-doubles, as Faried scored 17 points and Hoard and Wright netted 13 apiece.

While Faried is not yet eligible for the leader board, Wright (6.1 rpg.) is now ninth in the league and Hoard (6.7 rpg.) climbed to fifth. Nikola Milutinov remained the league leader with 8.4 rebounds per game.

Quinn Ellis's career-best 10 dimes for EA7 Emporio Armani Milan were the high-water mark for all players in Round 10. Codi Miller-McIntyre of Crvena Zvezda and Mike James of AS Monaco share the top spot in the league with 6.6 assists per game.

Bodian Massa of LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne collected 4 steals to lead all players for the round. With 1.8 steals per game, Paris's Hifi leads all players this season.

The all-time leader in blocked shots, Walter Tavares, added to his tally with a round-high 5 rejections and distanced himself from the competition to lead the league this season by raising his average to 2.0 rejections per game.

Bryant became the MVP of the Round for the second time in his seven EuroLeague seasons

Pascual spent the past five seasons with Zenit St. Petersburg, which he led to the VTB United League championship in 2022, the Russian Cup in 2024 and the EuroLeague Playoffs in 2021. Zenit lost that series 3-2 to Barcelona.

Before joining Zenit, Pascual coached Panathinaikos Athens and guided the Greens to Greek League championships in 2017 and 2018. He also lifted the Greek Cup in 2017 and took Panathinaikos to the EuroLeague Playoffs in 2017 and 2018.

In his first spell at Barcelona, Pascual was there for over a decade. He coached the second team, became the senior team's assistant coach and eventually was promoted to the role of head coach in 2008.

He led Barca to five Final Four appearances between 2009 and 2014 and captured the EuroLeague trophy in 2010. By doing so, he became the first Spanish coach in 30 years to win the EuroLeague and was named the 2009-10 Alexander Gomelskiy Coach of the Year.

Keenan Evans’s long road back to the EuroLeague ended in heartbreak Wednesday night.

Keenan Evans suffers Achilles rupture in EuroLeague return

[Keenan Evans](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/keenan-evans/011218/)’s long road back to the EuroLeague ended in heartbreak Wednesday night.

The [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) guard suffered a rupture of his left Achilles tendon just over two minutes into his return during [a Round 10 win over Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/tyler-dorsey-roasts-zalgiriss-defense-as-olympiacos-dominates-in-piraeus/), the team announced after the game. It was his first EuroLeague appearance since April 11, 2024, the final day of the 2023-24 regular season.

Evans checked in with 2:16 left in the first quarter and was greeted by a loud ovation inside Peace and Friendship Stadium. Facing his former team, the 29-year-old was playing his first EuroLeague minutes since joining Olympiacos in the summer of 2024. He had made his season debut last weekend in Greek League action – his first game back after a long recovery from injury.

Less than two minutes later, he went down clutching his left leg. Play stopped immediately as teammates and staff rushed to help, and the crowd fell silent. Evans was later helped off the court and did not return.

For Evans, the injury is another cruel setback. The former Zalgiris star hoped to be able to contribute for Olympiacos upon his return, bringing scoring and experience to one of Europe’s top rosters.

“First and foremost, I want to pray for Keenan Evans,” [Tyler Dorsey](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tyler-dorsey/009849/) said in his opening remarks to EuroLeague TV after the game. “I don't know what the injury is, but hopefully God can cover him and bless him with nothing serious.”

“Today, this \[win\] is not important. The most important thing is I really hope this tragedy that happened again with Keenan is not as bad as it seems it is,” [Nikola Milutinov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-milutinov/003941/) added. “It's the most difficult for him, it's also difficult for all of us because we've been with him through the previous year throughout the whole process. We know how much hard work he put in. He wanted to be with us, he wanted to be part of this team. Again, he was so unlucky.”

Olympiacos went on to win the game, but the result took a back seat to concern for Evans. The club has not yet announced a timeline for his recovery.

Evans, who has battled back from serious injury before, now faces another long rehab.
