Sport Klub reported that Crvena Zvezda is highly interested in signing Wenyen Gabriel, who is confirmed to leave Panathinaikos BC this summer, as of June 10, 2025. The Serbian club sees the South Sudanese-American forward as a key target to enhance their roster for the upcoming EuroLeague season.
Gabriel’s Proven Pedigree
Gabriel, with 150 NBA games across teams like Sacramento and Brooklyn (averaging 4.4 points, 3.4 rebounds), joined Panathinaikos from Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2024-25, posting 6 points and 0.9 blocks per game in the EuroLeague. His departure opens a window for Zvezda to secure his athleticism and defense.
Zvezda’s EuroLeague Ambitions
This move aligns with Crvena Zvezda’s plan to revamp under coach Janis Sferopoulos, aiming to challenge for titles in the expanded 20-team EuroLeague. Gabriel’s addition could solidify their frontcourt, boosting their chances in both domestic and European competitions next season.
