Roster Reinforcements Shape Up for the 2026–27 BCL Season
The countdown to the 2026‑27 Basketball Champions League is already generating buzz as clubs across Europe move to fortify their line‑ups. From the Iberian Peninsula to the Turkish capital, teams are weaving new pieces into their squads with the aim of deepening competitiveness.
Asisa Joventut has secured Alex Reyes on a two‑year deal with an optional third year. The Spanish forward brings a wealth of continental experience, having contested 28 Champions League games with BAXI Manresa and Surne/RETAbet Bilbao. In Spain’s Liga Endesa he posted 13.3 points per game and shot 39.9 % from three‑point range, numbers that promise to stretch opposing defenses.
In Turkey, Galatasaray MCT Technic announced the addition of power forward Berkan Durmaz. Standing 2.06 meters tall, Durmaz combines domestic league pedigree with international exposure, giving the Istanbul side a versatile interior option.
Other notable moves include Noah Carter’s return to Bnei PenLink Herzliya, where the swingman will again bring his playmaking flair. BMA365 Bamberg Baskets have signed Jordan Wright, a guard with 12 BCL appearances to his name. Meanwhile, Manchester retained Kaiyem Cleary and Kayne Henry before adding Ciaran Sandy and Jonathan Brown to the roster.
Polish outfit Dziki Warszawa opted to re‑sign forward‑center Lukasz Frackiewicz, banking on his inside presence, while German side Rasta Vechta bolstered its perimeter with guard‑forward Armaan Franklin, aiming to sharpen its outside game.
These strategic signings reflect a broader trend of clubs seeking depth and experience as the new campaign approaches, setting the stage for a season that could redefine the continental balance.
