Edler-Davis played college basketball at California State University Bakersfield, started his professional career with SC Lusitania Expert of Portugal. He also played for KB Peja of Kosovo before joining Voluntari. Edler-Davis is expected to make his BKT EuroCup with Hamburg next season.

"Justin has steadily developed over the past few years and has persevered in his path. He took his game to a new level last season and greatly improved his long-range shooting," Hamburg coach Benka Barloschky said. "One constant is his rebounding. He's a player who defines himself by being the best rebounder on the court. That mentality will help us."

Cluj lands Panamanian scorer Iverson Molinar 

U-BT Cluj-Napoca began its preparations for the 2025-26 season by signing combo guard Iverson Molinar.
