Buzz Sport sources reported that Valencia BC is strongly interested in signing Rodions Kurucs on June 10, 2025, to address the void left by Semi Ojeleye’s departure to Crvena Zvezda, exclusively revealed earlier by Buzz Sport. The Latvian forward is seen as a key replacement for the upcoming season.
Kurucs’ Valuable Addition
Kurucs averaged 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 32 ACB Liga Endesa matches with UCAM Murcia, shooting 56.9% from two and 32.4% from three for an 11.4 PIR. His versatility and scoring ability make him a significant upgrade to offset Ojeleye’s loss.
Valencia’s Strategic Move
With Ojeleye’s exit to Crvena Zvezda, Valencia aims to maintain their EuroLeague competitiveness by adding Kurucs’ all-around game. This signing could stabilize their roster for the expanded 20-team format, positioning them for a strong 2025-26 campaign.
