AS Monaco continued building the roster for its Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut by inking forward Donta Hall to a two-year deal, the club announced on August 5th 2021.

Monaco gets frontcourt boost with Hall

Hall (2.08 meters, 24 years old) split time last seasons between Orlando of the NBA, and two G-League teams, Ignite and Raptors 905. 

He first combined for 10.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 rebounds with two teams in 12 G-League appearances, then went on to post 5.6 points and 4.8 rebounds in 13 late-season appearances with Orlando. 

Grant made his professional debut in the 2019-20 campaign, which he spent between Detroit and Brooklyn in the NBA and Grand Rapids in the G-League. 

He now arrives for his first professional season on the European continent and is set to make his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut.

AS Monaco continued building the roster for its Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut by inking forward Donta Hall to a two-year deal, the club announced today.

UNICS Kazan returns to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague for the first time since the 2016-17 season. This will be the fourth time UNICS plays in the EuroLeague and since making a playoff appearance in its debut in the 2011-12 season, UNICS has a 13-27 record. While looking to improve on those winning percentages, UNICS will be eager to get back to playing on EuroLeague floors. Some of those games will have a special flavor for UNICS.

## Round 1: The new Russian derby

A Russian rivalry will spill over into the EuroLeague when UNICS faces Zenit St Petersburg. It will be the first time these two clubs go against each other in the EuroLeague, making Zenit the third Russian rival UNICS has played in the competition after Nizhny Novgorod in the 2014-15 season and CSKA Moscow two seasons later. UNICS and Zenit have faced off before in the 7DAYS EuroCup with UNICS going 4-0 in those games. It would love to continue that streak. Pavel Antipov and Pavel Sergeev are two UNICS players who previously wore the Zenit uniform.

## Round 4: a special game for Brown
Lorenzo Brown is set to play his third EuroLeague season with as many teams, and is expected to play a big role for UNICS. It should be really special for him to go back to Ulker Sports and Event Hall to face Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, to which he helped reach the EuroLeague Playoffs in the 2020-21 campaign. His matchup against Pierria Henry should be fun-to-watch, too.

## Round 15: Vorontsevich faces CSKA


It will be a special game for Andrey Vorontsevich, who is going to face CSKA Moscow for the first time in his EuroLeague career. Vorontsevich was with CSKA for 14 years. He joined his former club in 2006 from Lokomotiv Novosibirsk and wore its red uniform until 2020. He helped CSKA win EuroLeague titles in 2008, 2016 and 2019 plus 13 Russian League titles and 10 VTB United League crowns. Expect a great homecoming.

## Round 20: Opportunity for redemption

It's a rematch of the last year's 7DAYS EuroCup Finals, which Monaco won in two dramatic games. UNICS roster has seen significant changes since that game, but the majority of the roster did remain, including s All-EuroCup selection John Brown, and UNICS cannot wait to get a shot at redemption, but this time in a EuroLeague regular-season game.

## Round 32: Welcome back, coach
Panathinaikos head coach Dimitris Priftis was the head of UNICS's bench for the last four seasons. Priftis helped UNICS reach the EuroCup Finals, thus booking its ticket for this season's EuroLeague. He also guided the team to the VTB United League playoff finals. Priftis reached the 2018 EuroCup semifinals and had and two more VTB semifinal appearances with UNICS. His arrival to Kazan will be a special one for all involved.



UNICS Kazan returns to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague for the first time since the 2016-17 season. Here are some games that will have a special flavor for UNICS.

ALBA Berlin and combo guard Maodo Lo reached an agreement to keep working together until the end of the 2022-23 season, the club announced Wednesday. Lo (1.91 meters, 28 years old) averaged 9.5 points and 3.1 assists in 27 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games last season, in which he helped his win the German League title. Born in Berlin, he started his professional career with Brose Bamberg and also played for another German team, FC Bayern Munich, before joining ALBA in 2020. Lo won the German double - league and cup titles - with Bamberg in 2017 and also lifted the German League trophy with Bayern in 2019. He is also a member of the German national team, and averaged 13.5 points and 5.0 assists in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Tournament.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">Zwei weitere Jahre mit Maodo Lô! Der Topscorer und bester Assistgeber der DBB-Auswahl bei Olympia bleibt bei ALBA. <br><br>Super, dass Du weiterhin an Bord bist! <a href="https://t.co/biQYDn1kgb">pic.twitter.com/biQYDn1kgb</a></p>&mdash; ALBA BERLIN (@albaberlin) <a href="https://twitter.com/albaberlin/status/1422845483895119875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

"I'm looking forward to the next two years at ALBA and especially to finally playing in front of our fans in Berlin again, if the pandemic allows. It is very nice for me to be in my hometown, with my family and friends," Lo said after the agreement. "After we finished last season with the championship, I'm looking forward to my extension and the future. I hope that we will continue to play so successfully and we will also grow in the EuroLeague, gain more and more experience there and take the next steps as a team."



ALBA re-signs combo guard Lo

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv comes off its first Israeli League and Cup double since 2014 and is ready to battle for a spot in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs for the first time since 2015. Maccabi fans have a great appreciation for history and are always geared up for big games against longtime rivals, but also respectful of the new kids on the block, too. Here are five high-anticipated showdowns for Maccabi this season.

### ROUND 6: a game for the ages

Maccabi and Zalgiris Kaunas will always be linked together since April 8, 2004. It was a do-or-die game for both teams to reach the Final Four and Zalgiris had the win in its pocket, leading 91-94 with 2.0 seconds left and 2 free throws by Giedrius Gustas, who was 17-of-17 that season before this game. Gustas missed both attempts, Maccabi got the ball back, Derrick Sharp forced overtime with an impossible shot and the rest is history. Fans never stop talking about it when Zalgiris visits Tel Aviv. What a game that was!

### ROUND 11: a big homecoming

He made history with Olympiacos Piraeus and is in the process of doing the same with Maccabi. Coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos helped Olympiacos win back-to-back Greek League titles in 2015 and 2016 and reached the EuroLeague championship game twice (2015 and 2017). Some of the players he coached during his four seasons with the club, such as Georgios Printezis, Kostas Papanikolaou and Kostas Sloukas, are either still with the team or have since returned to Olympiacos. Expect a familiar feeling before the game and a big battle after the tip-off.

### ROUND 13: a classic showdown

It is the most repeated showdown in continental history. When Real Madrid and Maccabi meet again, it will be for the 63rd time. Appropriately, their 50th showdown was the 2014 EuroLeague championship game, in which Maccabi prevailed in overtime. Real had previously defeated Maccabi in the 1980 EuroLeague final. Maccabi has combined for 100 domestic league and cup titles and won 5 EuroLeague crowns. Real has 63 league and cup titles combined, and 10 EuroLeague trophies. Every game between these two teams is full of tradition and respect.




### ROUND 19: a 21st-century rivalry

Maccabi and Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz have faced each other over 30 times this century and in some really important games. None as big as the 2005 EuroLeague championship game, in which Maccabi beat Baskonia 90-78. Maccabi also prevailed in the 2006 semifinals and the 2011 playoffs, stealing the home-court advantage to reach the Final Four. Baskonia has won in Tel Aviv seven times and is proud to be a fierce opponent. After back-to-back losses against Maccabi last season, Baskonia should look for more at Menora Mivtachim Arena.

### ROUND 26: a battle of giants

It is always special when Maccabi faces CSKA Moscow. Some of the biggest games in Maccabi history came against the Russian powerhouse. Maccabi defeated CSKA in the EuroLeague semifinals in 2004 and 2014 and ended up lifting the trophy. CSKA bested Maccabi in the 2006 and 2008 EuroLeague championship games. It is a rivalry that goes back almost 50 years since the teams' first showdown in 1975. CSKA beat Maccabi twice last season and that should also be a factor when the teams meet at Menora Mivtachim Arena.



2021-22 Games to Watch: Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul found a new playcaller as the Turkish powerhouse on Saturday signed Sasa Djordjevic to a three-year contract as the club’s new head coach. Djordjevic, age 53, comes to Fenerbahce after coaching Virtus Segafredo Bologna the past three seasons and replaces Igor Kokoskov, who agreed to leave the club on Tuesday. Djordjevic guided Virtus to the 2020-21 7DAYS EuroCup semifinals, where the club lost to UNICS Kazan. Djordjevic returns to the EuroLeague for his third stint after coaching Olimpia Milano in 2005-06 for three games and producing a 15-12 record with Panathinaikos Athens in 2015-16, getting swept in the playoffs by Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. After a wildly successful playing career - which included the 1992 EuroLeague crown with Partizan Belgrade as well as three Korac Cup titles not to mention 1996 Olympic silver, the 1998 FIBA Basketball World Cup trophy and three golds at the FIBA EuroBasket for Yugoslavia - Djordjevic’s debut as coach came with Milan, where he served until 2007. He next coached Benetton in the EuroCup in 2011-12 before reappearing for his EuroLeague season with Panathinaikos. Djordjevic then went to FC Bayern Munich for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns, the latter which saw the club lose to Darussafaka Istanbul in the EuroCup semifinals and he shortly thereafter being fired. Djordjevic returned to Italy in March 2019 and landed at Virtus and helped the club win the Basketball Champions League title in 2019. Djordjevic also served as the Serbian national team head coach and led them to the silver medal at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2014, 2016 Olympics and FIBA EuroBasket 2017.

FC Bayern Munich has signed point guard Corey Walden for the next two seasons, the club announced Friday. Walden (1.88 meters, 28 years old) made his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut last season with Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade. He averaged 10.5 points on 39.0% three-point shooting and 2.3 assists in 30 EuroLeague games last season as a part-time starter. At Bayern he will be reunited with Coach Andrea Trinchieri, who coached Walden at Partizan NIS Belgrade in 2019-20, when they helped the team clinch home-court advantage throughout the 7DAYS EuroCup playoffs before the season was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Walden was the 2018-19 MVP of the Israeli League regular season after putting up 18.4 points, 5.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while leading Hapoel Holon into the playoffs. That was his second year with Holon; he led the team to the Israeli Cup and an appearance in the championship game the season before. Walden began his professional career with Maine in the D-League in 2015. He helped Telenet Oostende to the Belgian League and Cup double in 2016-17, his first season in Europe.

AS Monaco added size and Turkish Airlines EuroLeague experience to its backcourt by inking playmaker Leo Westermann to a one-year deal, the club announced Thursday.

Monaco adds experienced guard Westermann

Westermann (1.98 meters, 29 years old) arrives from FC Barcelona, where he averaged 2.7 points in 15 EuroLeague games last season. He helped Barcelona win the Spanish double - league and cup titles - and reach the EuroLeague Championship Game. Westermann started the 2020-21 season with Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, averaging 4.8 points and 2.0 assists in 24 EuroLeague games before joining Barcelona.

Zalgiris Kaunas on Thursday landed a veteran floor general still in the prime of his career by signing guard Janis Strelnieks for the next Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. Strelnieks (1.91 meters, 31 years old) arrives from CSKA Moscow, where he played the previous two seasons. He helped CSKA reach the last Final Four with 4.4 points and 1.6 assists per game in a reserve role of 14 minutes on average.

<div style="display: grid; place-items: center;">

Before that, Strelnieks played two EuroLeague seasons each with Olympiacos Piraeus and Brose Bamberg after having debuted in the competition with Budivelnik Kiev in 2013-14. Through 157 EuroLeague games over seven seasons, Strelnieks has averaged 8.1 points, 2.4 assists and 1.6 rebounds. He also has parts of six EuroCup seasons under his belt -- for Bamberg, Kiev, Spartak St Petersburg and Ventspils in his native Latvia -- for slightly higher averages of 8.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 66 games.
