Career Stats and Murcia Impact
Kurucs averaged 11.2 points and 5.0 rebounds in the 2024-25 ACB season with Murcia, showcasing his 2.06m versatility. His NBA tenure with Brooklyn and Houston, plus his brother Artūrs’ Barcelona legacy, adds significant appeal to this transfer.
Baskonia Wins Race, Valencia Shifts Focus
Baskonia secures Kurucs to bolster its frontcourt, opting for the buyout to enhance EuroLeague depth, while Valencia, initially keen, has stepped back, likely redirecting resources elsewhere. This move strengthens Baskonia’s roster for the upcoming season.
