Following a spectacular introduction to the BKT EuroCup with Cedevita Olimpija in the 2024-25 edition of the second-tier club continental competition of Euroleague Basketball, DeVante’ Jones moved his talents to Dolomiti Energia Trento for the 2025-26 season, the team announced on Thursday. Powering up the Ljubljana outfit, the 27-year-old point guard tallied 10.3 points, 3.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per contest over 20 EuroCup appearances.
Cedevita Olimpija has been busy as well, adding 30-year-old David Skara on Tuesday and re-signing 24-year-old Rok Radovic on Thursday. The newcomer will debut in the EuroCup after playing for Split last season, following spells with several teams in France and Spain since coming out of an NCAA career between Clemson and Valparaiso.
Veolia Towers Hamburg secured the services of 27-year-old Justin Edler-Davis on Tuesday and Eric Reed Jr. on Thursday. Penning a two-year and a one-year contract, respectively, both players will also expand their careers in the EuroCup.
Beyond securing the services of Michalis Lountzis, and previously retaining fellow Greek players, Nikos Gkikas and Giorgos Tsalmpouris, Panionios landed 34-year-old Markel Starks on Tuesday. The experienced point guard previously played in Greece in 2017, suiting up for Koroivos, and will debut in the EuroCup. During a brief spell with Fenerbahce Beko in 2022, he logged four appearances in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. Additional club continental experience extends to the Basketball Champions League with 22 games between Darussafaka Lassa and Igokea m:tel.
The new EuroCup season tips off on September 30.
