Real Madrid reels in 12-year NBA veteran Alex Len

[Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/) has announced the signing of Alex Len, who has put pen to paper on a deal until the end of the 2026-27 season.

Len (2.13 meters, 32 years old) has spent the last 12 seasons playing in the NBA, suiting up for the Phoenix Suns (2013-18), Atlanta Hawks (2018-20), Sacramento Kings (2019-20; 2021-25), Toronto Raptors (2020-21), Washington Wizards (2020-21), and the Los Angeles Lakers (2024-25).

[Following the departure of Bruno Fernando](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/partizan-signs-bruno-fernando-away-from-real-madrid/), the Ukrainian big man has arrived in Madrid to compete with starting center [Walter Tavares](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/walter-tavares/005791/) at the 5 position.

## Thursday, October 30

### Zalgiris Kaunas vs. LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne (19:00 CET)

Thursday’s opening tipoff will see second-placed Zalgiris (5-2) attempt to complete a perfect week against an ASVEL team (2-5) targeting a first road win. The first task for the visitor is finding a way to slow down Sylvain Francisco, who leads the league in assists (6.7 per game) and dominated Tuesday’s win over Virtus by combining 23 points with 10 helpers. The inside presence of Moses Wright (14 points and 8 rebounds two days ago) is another challenge for an ASVEL team which suffered a bad night on offense in Round 7, losing 79-65 at Zvezda with only Melvin Ajinca (13) scoring more than 10 points. ASVEL committed 16 turnovers in that game so needs more control in the Zalgirio Arena.

### Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (20:05 CET)

Red-hot Zvezda (5-2) is aiming for a sixth straight victory as it faces dangerous but inconsistent Maccabi (2-5). It will feel like a home game for both teams in Belgrade, where new backcourt signing Jared Butler could make his debut for a Zvezda team also hoping to welcome back Jordan Nwora after injury. Chima Moneke will look to continue his strong form after netting 24 points in Tuesday’s win over Virtus, while Maccabi is targeting defensive improvement after allowing 99 points in defeat at Panathinaikos two days ago. That game saw TJ Leaf deliver his best performance yet (12 points, 9 rebounds) and the forward needs another big night if Maccabi wants to stop Zvezda’s sensational winning run.

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

Two direct rivals enduring contrasting fortunes in Round 7 meet in Munich as Bayern (3-4) welcomes Virtus (4-3). Bayern produced a magnificent second half – inspired by Isiaha Mike – to overturn a double-digit deficit at home to Real Madrid, while Virtus must recover quickly from a heavy defeat at Zalgiris. Former Bayern star Carsen Edwards will look to lead the visitor by recovering his best form after being held to 9 points in Tuesday’s loss, missing all 6 of his three-point attempts. The Italian team also needs to compete better in the paint after being heavily outrebounded in Lithuania, with Alen Smailagic facing the challenge of battling with fit-again Bayern big man Johannes Voigtmann. The host could also be bolstered by new signing Spencer Dinwiddie, whose possible debut will be decided shortly before tipoff.

### Valencia Basket vs. Dubai Basketball (20:30 CET)

Valencia (4-3) will attempt to complete a perfect week by downing a Dubai team (3-4) needing to bounce back from consecutive losses. The Spanish team – which leads the league in scoring (94.1 points per game) again showed its potential by comfortably beating reigning champ Fenerbahce on Tuesday, underlining its impressive depth as Tyson Carter top scored with 17 points. Dubai can rely on the consistency of Filip Petrusev (15.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per night), and he needs a strong game against a Valencia team which ranks second in offensive boards (14.3 per game). The visitor has the competition’s best interior defense, conceding just 50.5% of two-point attempts, but needs Dwayne Bacon to rediscover form at the other end after going 2-of-12 from the field two days ago.

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Paris Basketball (20:30 CET)

Two of Round 7’s losers will seek an immediate return to winning ways as Milan (2-5) receives a visit from Paris (4-3). Milan suffered a narrow defeat at Barcelona despite a strong performance from Armoni Brooks (15 points on 3-of-4 three-point shooting), and needs others to find their range from deep after making just 7 of its 27 attempts (25.9%). Paris, in contrast, was overcome at home by Efes after a bad night inside the paint, converting only 11 of its 29 two-point attempts (37.9%), with star scorer Nadir Hifi struggling from the field as he made just 2-of-16 field goals. This is a true clash of styles, with the league’s third-best defense (Milan has allowed just 80.4 points per game) attempting to clamp down the third-best offense (Paris averages 91.7 points).

### Real Madrid vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (21:00 CET)

Two struggling heavyweights meet in Madrid as 2023 champion Real (3-4) welcomes current title holder Fenerbahce (3-4). The home team needs a strong response after a disastrous second half relinquished a 16-point lead at Bayern in Round 7, despite forward Trey Lyles continuing his strong form by combining 20 points and 6 rebounds. The Turkish team trailed from start to finish in Tuesday’s loss at Valencia, so will be targeting a fast start and better ball movement after only managing 14 assists at the Roig Arena. Talen Horton-Tucker is showing signs of becoming a team leader after returning to fitness and he faces a good battle with Theo Maledon, who is gradually finding form with Real and posted 15 points plus 4 assists two nights ago.

### AS Monaco vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (19:00 CET)

Friday tips off with a heavyweight showdown between two of last season’s Final Four contestants as Monaco (4-3) faces Panathinaikos (5-2). The Roca Team has already beaten one Greek giant this week following Wednesday’s impressive road win at Olympiacos, and all-time EuroLeague top scorer Mike James will face his former team full of confidence after combining 23 points with 10 assists. Panathinaikos needs to find solutions in the paint after Richaun Holmes suffered injury during Tuesday’s win over Maccabi, and Omer Yurtseven will face a heavy workload after a registering a big double-double (16 points, 13 rebounds) in that victory. The Greens will also hope that Cedi Osman, who played nearly 38 minutes earlier this week, has enough energy to subdue Alpha Diallo, another star of Monaco’s win in Piraeus.

### Olympiacos Piraeus vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:15 CET)

Standings leader Hapoel (6-1) is seeking another high-profile victim as it faces an inconsistent Olympiacos (4-3) targeting a return to winning ways. Hapoel underlined its depth as seven different players scored in double digits to overpower Partizan earlier this week, including Elijah Bryant again showing his versatility by combining 11 points and 9 rebounds. Limiting the influence of visiting playmaker Vasilije Micic (15.6 points per game) will be a focus for an Olympiacos team needing defensive improvement after Wednesday’s home loss to Monaco, and the Reds will hope that Evan Fournier can find his range after shooting 0-of-6 from three-point range in that loss. Dominating the paint will be a key between the league’s two most accurate two-point shooting teams (60.5% vs 60.2%), headlined by a big battle between Nikola Milutinov and Dan Oturu.

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. FC Barcelona (20:30 CET)

A key matchup in the middle of the standings will see Partizan (3-4) defend its home court against a visit from Barcelona (4-3). New Partizan signing Nick Calathes could debut by facing his former club, and he will try to provide more fluidity to an offense which ranks last in the league in assists (15.7 per game). The Serbian team, which lost at Hapoel on Wednesday, will hope that Sterling Brown can continue to shine after netting 25 and 19 points in the last two games, but Barca showed its defensive capabilities by grinding out a 74-72 win over Milan last time out. A pair of former Partizan players, Kevin Punter and Jan Vesely, will play a key role as Barca seeks a 12th straight win over the host, a run dating back to 2010.

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (20:30 CET)

October’s action concludes in Vitoria, where Baskonia (1-6) and Efes (3-4) are both aiming to complete a perfect double week. The Spanish team’s long-awaited first victory of the season came against Dubai on Tuesday, led by the orchestration of Kobi Simmons (16 points and 5 assists) and the shooting of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (25 points), while Efes picked up a second straight road win by triumphing at Paris behind the ever-present scoring threat of former Baskonia star Shane Larkin (19 points). The Turkish team will try to control the tempo through the physical presence of Ercan Osmani (13.0 points and 3.9 rebounds per game), while Baskonia will look to feed off the energy of Hamari Diallo, whose impressive season continued with 14 points and 8 boards on Tuesday.

There are six games on Thursday, then four on Friday, to finish this season's third double-round week.

The two played in the first two games of the round on Tuesday evening and posted respective PIRs of 35, which no player in the remaining eight fixtures would be able to match. 

Round 7 co-MVPs: Sylvain Francisco and Chima Moneke

For the first time in the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season, the MVP of the Round honor will be shared by two players after [Sylvain Francisco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sylvain-francisco/007975/) of Zalgiris Kaunas and [Chima Moneke](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/chima-moneke/012201/) of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade posted equally impressive performances in leading their teams to pivotal victories. The two played in the first two games of the round on Tuesday evening and posted respective PIRs of 35, which no player in the remaining eight fixtures would be able to match. 

Francisco scored a season-high 23 points and dished 10 assists for his first career double-double to lead Zalgiris to an 86-65 victory over Virtus Bologna. He made 4 of 5 two-point shots and 3 of 6 three-pointers while also collecting 3 rebounds and even blocking 1 shot en route to the second MVP of the Round award of his career. 

Moneke stood tall to lead Zvezda to a 79-65 triumph over LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne with 24 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. He missed only one field goal all night and only played 22 minutes. This marks the fourth MVP of the Round in Moneke’s trophy case. 

The third-best PIR of the round came from [Alpha Diallo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/alpha-diallo/011226/) with a 32 in AS Monaco's 87-92 win at Olympiacos Piraeus. The do-it-all forward made 8 of 9 two-point shots and 3 of 4 triple in setting a career-high in scoring with 27 points. He added 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. 

Rounding out the list of the round's top performers were [Isiaha Mike](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/isiaha-mike/011836/) of FC Bayern Munich and Monaco's [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/). Mike helped Bayern drop Real Madrid 90-84 with a career-best 29 points and 7 rebounds for a PIR of 30. James contributed 23 points and 10 assists in his team's win. 

### Individual highs: Isiaha Mike of FC Bayern Munich, 29 points 

Isiaha Mike was Round 7's best scorer with his career-high 29 points. Paris Basketball’s [Nadir Hifi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nadir-hifi/012640/) remains the EuroLeague's top scorer this season with 22.0 points per game.

The best rebounder in Round 7 was [Omer Yutseven](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/omer-yurtseven/005353/) of Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens with 13. Olympiacos Piraeus’s [Sasha Vezenkov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sasha-vezenkov/003469/) continues to lead the league in rebounding with an average of 8.7 boards per game.

Sylvain Francisco and Mike James each dished 10 assists in Round 7 to lead the charts. Francisco climbed atop the season-long rankings with 6.7 assists per game, a shade ahead of James's 6.6. 

[Cedi Osman](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/cedi-osman/004088/) recorded 4 steals for Panathinaikos in Round 7, which were the most by any player. Hifi remains atop the table for the season with an average of 2.1 per game.

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv center [Dan Oturu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/dan-oturu/012788/) rejected 4 shots to stand above all other shot-blockers in Round 7. With 1.4 blocks per game, he is second to only Real Madrid’s [Walter Tavares](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/walter-tavares/005791/) (1.6 bpg.) for most blocks this season.

Five players posted double-doubles in Round 7. Francisco and James were the only two to do so with points and assists. They were joined by Bayern's [Oscar da Silva](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/oscar-da-silva/011244/) (10 points, 10 rebounds), Partizan's [Tyrique Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tyrique-jones/011981/) (14 points, 10 rebounds) and Yurtseven (16 points, 13 rebounds).

AS Monaco made a statement by going on the road and edging Olympiacos Piraeus 87-92 in a hard-fought affair in Round 7 of the 2025-26 EuroLeague Regular Season, with Mike James and Alpha Diallo playing key roles in the win.

Mike James, ‘everyday guy’ Alpha Diallo starred for Monaco in Piraeus

It might still be too early in the season, but it feels as though [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/) made a statement on Wednesday night.

Of course, it can be argued that being the reigning EuroLeague runner-up does free a team from needing to make statements in the first place, but Monaco made one nevertheless, going on the road and edging [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) 87-92 in a hard-fought affair.

“I think we played a really good game,” Monaco star guard and the EuroLeague’s all-time leading scorer [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) said with a smile in a EuroLeague TV interview after the win.

James orchestrated things on the floor at the Peace and Friendship Stadium, playing 32 minutes and posting a double-double of 23 points and 10 assists. He shot 3 of 6 from long range, made 5 of 7 twos, and also had 4 rebounds.

It was his best performance of this young campaign, and he now sits in second place in the league in assists this season with 6.6 per game.

His performance, and the game’s outcome, came as a bit of *déjà vu*.

Olympiacos Piraeus-AS Monaco | Round 7 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

This was a rematch of last season’s Final Four semifinals, in which James starred in Monaco’s win over the Reds in Abu Dhabi. But just like in that historic semifinal win, in this Round 7 affair in Piraeus, James had a sidekick – and just like in Abu Dhabi, there was that same other protagonist, [Alpha Diallo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/alpha-diallo/011226/), who pushed and pulled Monaco to victory once again.

Diallo played 35 minutes and 17 seconds in this Round 7 clash, scoring a career-high 27 points. He made 8 of 9 twos and 3 of 4 threes, and chipped in 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals to his all-round effort.

Both players earned great praise from their head coach, Vassilis Spanoulis.

“\[Mike James\] had 10 assists, but could have had more, we missed some open threes,” Spanoulis said. “Everybody knows he can score. He was very concentrated, he always made the right play.

“Alpha played incredible,” Spanoulis continued. “You cannot judge Alpha from the points he scored. He plays incredible defense and in all the aspects of the game, that you cannot see on the stat sheet.”

Diallo, playing in his fifth EuroLeague season, all with Monaco, is an all-out effort player who reads the game so well on both ends of the floor that he simply makes the team better.

In addition to his defensive prowess, after this 27-point performance, Diallo is now also averaging 14.3 points on 43.5% three-point shooting, turning himself in a nightmare for opposing defenses, too.

“I just go out there and hoop every night, just to be an every-day guy,” Diallo tried to explain his approach on EuroLeague TV. “I try to come in, do the little stuff and just whatever it takes to win. I am happy I keep improving, it shows the work I’ve put in, and it is showing off.”

The win improved Monaco's record to 4-3, working like a charm after the team lost in its two previous road games, in Bologna against Virtus and in Sofia against Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv.

The next stop in just 48 hours is a home tilt against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens.

For the second year in a row, Monaco scored a valuable road win at Olympiacos 

Olympiacos Piraeus v AS Monaco (2025-10-29T19:15:00.000Z)

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv marched on relentlessly and improved to 6-1 after a glitzy 97-84 home win over Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade on Wednesday night, as selfless teamwork saw the Israeli side blow away its rival on the back of an effervescent second-half performance.

Mighty Hapoel rolls on to beat Partizan and stay top of the standings

[Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/hapoel-ibi-tel-aviv/hta/) marched on relentlessly and improved to 6-1 after a glitzy 97-84 home win over [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade/par/) on Wednesday night, as selfless teamwork saw the Israeli side blow away its rival on the back of an effervescent second-half performance.

Coach Dimitris Itoudis celebrated a sweet win over his former mentor and close friend Zeljko Obradovic, with the two forming an unbreakable bond during a glorious 1999-2012 spell at Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens where they won five EuroLeague titles together.

Boasting a deep roster at Hapoel, Itoudis emerged as a worthy winner in Sofia. The noisy Partizan fans made the Serbian outfit feel at home, although it’s currently Hapoel’s turf until the club’s long-awaited return to its Tel Aviv base in December.

No less than seven Hapoel players scored in double figures and the outcome epitomized the team’s unselfish approach as [Collin Malcolm](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/collin-malcolm/012609/) led the way on 17 points and 7-of-8 shooting from the floor, with the hosts sinking 12 of 26 three-pointers in a high-octane clash.

Having praised his teammates, Malcolm also struck a note of caution that Hapoel should take nothing for granted so early in the season, despite making the headlines time and again since the club hit uncharted territory by joining Europe’s premier club competition this term.

“We did a really good job handling their physicality and pressure in the second half and once we started finding the right guys, we started to score,” Malcolm said in his post-game comments. “It’s good to see that we’re progressing but nobody won the league after seven rounds so we’ve still got a long way to go. This team is capable of a lot of good things so we’re now focused on Round 8 and the matchup with Olympiacos.”

Big man [Dan Oturu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/dan-oturu/012788/) racked up 14 points and 6 boards, [Antonio Blakeney](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/antonio-blakeney/013402/) added 13 points while [Chris Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chris-jones/010568/) chipped in with 12. [Ish Wainright](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ish-wainright/013284/) and [Elijah Bryant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/elijah-bryant/009846/) added 11 apiece and [Vasilije Micic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vasilije-micic/002580/) sank 10 to round up Hapoel’s smooth all-round display which saw Partizan reeling throughout the second half after staying on an even keel in the opening 20 minutes.

The visiting team’s new signing [Bruno Fernando](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/bruno-fernando/013667/) made a limited impact in the paint as the big man from Angola finished on 6 points and 3 boards, with [Sterling Brown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sterling-brown/012720/) pacing Partizan on 19 points and [Duane Washington](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/duane-washington/013370/) adding 15. They were the only two visiting players in double figures, however, with the long-term absence of livewire playmaker [Carlik Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/carlik-jones/013369/) beginning to bite hard as Partizan slipped to 3-4 after a second successive crushing defeat following the previous round’s 83-101 home drubbing by Paris Basketball.

Having singled out Malcolm, Coach Itoudis underlined that Hapoel’s deep roster gave him plenty of options at both ends of the court. “We’re a new team and still getting to know each other but we had a good second half, scoring 54 points and shooting 7 of 14 from three-point range,” the Greek tactician said.

“Congrats to the players, we managed to win even though we didn’t have a great game. A deep roster helps in having different protagonists every game. The bench contributes too while Malcolm is effective all over, on offense and defense.”

Obradovic, who faces an uphill battle to get his shorthanded team back on track with guard [Shake Milton](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/shake-milton/014007/) also sidelined by injury, could only acknowledge that is men fell woefully short in a lop-sided second half.  “It was a game of two different halves,” said the winner of a record nine EuroLeague titles with five different clubs. “The first half was close but in the second we made all sorts of mistakes as our defense was terrible and Hapoel fully deserved their win.”  

The season’s surprise package pulled off an impressive win after seven of its players scored in double figures

Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens has locked down one of its core veterans by signing forward Konstantinos Mitoglou to a long-term contract extension

Panathinaikos pens Konstantinos Mitoglou to long-term extension

[Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/) has locked down one of its core veterans by signing forward [Konstantinos Mitoglou](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/konstantinos-mitoglou/profile/007866/) to a contract extension through the 2028-29 season.

## Wednesday, October 29

### [Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv 97-84 Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/hapoel-ibi-tel-aviv-partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade/E2025/69/)

Hapoel earned a well-deserved 97-84 win over Partizan after a smooth team effort saw as stack of home players finish in double figures, with the table-topping Israeli side improving to 6-1 while the Serbian outfit dropped to 3-4. Collin Malcolm paced Hapoel on 17 points, Dan Oturu netted 14 and Antonio Blakeney poured 13 while Chris Jones sank 12. Sterling Brown led the way for Partizan on 19 points and Duane Washington added 15.

Hapoel kept nosing ahead in a physical first quarter and forged a 25-19 lead after the opening 10 minutes, courtesy of late three-pointers from Malcolm and Blakeney, while Dylan Osetkowski carried Partizan as he netted 8 points. The visitors conjured a 0-11 run to turn the tide early in the second quarter as the introduction of Arijan Lakic and new signing Bruno Fernando beefed up its defense, leaving Hapoel scoreless for almost 5 minutes. However, the hosts responded with their own 10-0 streak and Hapoel came out on top, 43-42, in a rollercoaster first half. 

Hapoel pulled away in the third quarter and carved out a 70-63 advantage ahead of the final 10 minutes on the back of a treble of three-pointers from Ish Wainright, giving the Israeli side its biggest lead of the night up to that point. Five unanswered points gave Hapoel a double-digit lead early in the fourth and there was no way back for Partizan after a pair of three-pointers from Chris Jones gave the home team an 83-69 lead midway through the period.

In the return of coach Vassilis Spanoulis to Piraeus, it was a defensive-minded Diallo who scored a career-best 27 points on 11-of-13 field-goal shooting, while James had 23 points and 10 assists as Monaco improved to a 4-3 record.

### [Zalgiris Kaunas 86-65 Virtus Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/game-center/2025-26/zalgiris-kaunas-virtus-bologna/E2025/68/)

Zalgiris held off a late charge from Virtus on Tuesday evening to grab an 86-65 win at Zalgirio Arena, with Sylvain Francisco running the show for the Lithuanian side. After getting off to a red-hot start, Zalgiris cooled off in the second and third quarters, which allowed Virtus to enter the final frame trailing by single digits. 

Two Matt Morgan scores pulled Virtus within 4 points in the fourth, but Francisco stepped up once more by netting 13 fourth-quarter points and dishing 4 more assists to make things comfortable once again for Zalgiris, which won its second straight game. Tomas Masiulis’s men are now 5-2, while Dusko Ivanovic’s Virtus saw its three-game winning streak come to an end as it fell to 4-3. 

Francisco had a 23-point, 10-assist double-double, and he was one of five Zalgiris players who scored in double digits. Moses Wright paired 14 points with 8 rebounds, Dustin Sleva netted 13 points, Deividas Sirvydis poured in 11, and Azuolas Tubelis finished with 10 points and 7 boards. For Virtus, Morgan scored 19 points and Alen Smailagic added 12. Carsen Edwards was held to just 9 points.

Panathinaikos ground out a 99-85 home win over Maccabi in a spectacular clash as Kendrick Nunn shined for the home side with a game-high 22 points. Cedi Osman netted 20 and Omer Yurtseven added 16 to go with a career-high 13 rebounds. At the other end, Jaylen Hoard posted 15 points and 9 boards, while Jimmy Clark scored 14 points.

In a fast-paced start, Panathinaikos carved out a 15-9 lead on the back of 5 points from Osman as well as 4 each by Nunn and Yurtseven. The advantage soon soared to 22-14 as the fired-up Osman kept delivering for the hosts, but Maccabi turned the tide and was 24-25 ahead at the end of the first quarter as Clark netted from inside his own half on the buzzer. The high-scoring battle continued in the second quarter as both sides stayed prolific from long range, with Clark carrying Maccabi while Osman was unstoppable at the other end. Maccabi took a 47-49 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks to 12 points from Clark and 10 by Roman Sorkin.

Nunn kept Panathinaikos afloat in the third quarter as he caught fire from all over and the hosts flipped the script with a 9-0 streak to nose ahead 64-60 midway through.

Efes got back to winning on Tuesday night by downing Paris 80-90 on the road. The Turkish side – which had head coach Igor Kokoskov ejected for 2 quick technical fouls in the third quarter – held Paris to a season-low 39 first-half points and did a good job of keeping Nadir Hifi quiet throughout, with the French guard shooting 2 for 16 from the field.

Shane Larkin led Efes with a game-high 19 points, while Ercan Osmani was the contest’s second-highest scorer with 18 points. Jordan Loyd and Isaia Cordinier added 14 points apiece, and Rolands Smits netted 11. Despite a torrid night from the field, Hifi made all 13 of his free throws en route to 17 points, the same total as Sebastian Herrera. Justin Robinson and Yakuba Ouattara poured in 13 points each.

Assist king Nick Calathes reunites with Zeljko Obradovic at Partizan 

When [Nick Calathes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nick-calathes/001932/) was first starting his career, he paid his dues under legendary head coach Zeljko Obradovic. Now, the star point guard is reuniting with the coaching master to bring his experience and leadership to a [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade/par/) team that aims to reach the top.

Partizan announced that it has signed Calathes (1.96 meters, 36 years old) for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The playmaker arrives from [AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/), where he had made three appearances in the French League this season, but had yet to appear for the club in the EuroLeague. Last season, he averaged 3.7 points and 3.8 assists in 17 EuroLeague games with Monaco.

Partizan will be the fifth EuroLeague club for Calathes, who after debuting with Panathinaikos Athens also played for FC Barcelona and Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul before signing with Monaco. Known for his elite court vision, defensive instincts, and leadership, Calathes brings over a decade of EuroLeague experience to Partizan. In that time, he has built a historic resume.

Calathes is the EuroLeague all-time leader in assists (2,135) and steals (460). He is second in competition history with 318 games started ninth in PIR (4,298) and ninth in games played (371).

He is one of two players - [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) being the other - with over 1,000 career points, rebounds and assists.
