According to Chema de Lucas on X, Dubai BC is targeting CSKA Moscow’s Serbian guard Aleksa Avramović to complete their backcourt for the 2025-26 season. This move comes as the EuroLeague votes today, May 29, 2025, on whether to expand to 20 teams, potentially including Dubai BC. The club has already secured a two-year deal with Mfiondu Kabengele.
Avramović’s EuroLeague Pedigree
Avramović, who averaged 6.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists with Partizan in the 2022-23 EuroLeague season, brings experience and versatility. Now with CSKA Moscow in the VTB United League, he also helped Serbia win a silver medal at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. His addition could bolster Dubai BC’s roster as they aim to compete at Europe’s elite level if granted EuroLeague entry.
EuroLeague Expansion Stakes
Today’s vote is pivotal for Dubai BC, a leading candidate for EuroLeague expansion, as reported by Eurohoops. The Middle Eastern club’s aggressive recruitment reflects a broader trend of investment in European sports, following Dubai’s bids to host the EuroLeague Final Four. A successful vote could see them join teams like Virtus Bologna and Valencia, reshaping the league’s landscape.
