Darius Thompson’s future at Anadolu Efes hangs in the balance, with talks of a departure underway, as reported by Yağız Sabuncuoğlu on X. The American playmaker, earning $2.3M per season, faces a potential exit despite a year left on his contract, following Igor Kokoskov’s appointment as coach.
Roster Overhaul Under Kokoskov
Kokoskov’s arrival signals a shake-up, with Dan Oturu and Elijah Bryant also linked to exits. Efes seems eager to part ways with Thompson, who averaged 9.8 points and 4.7 assists in the 2024/25 EuroLeague, despite his experience, prompting buyout discussions.
What’s Next for Thompson
With Efes prioritizing a fresh direction, Thompson’s next move remains uncertain. EuroLeague teams are poised to pounce, while fans await whether he’ll stay or seek a new challenge in the offseason.
