Vladimir Lucic and Neno Dimitrijevic led FC Bayern Munich to a 93 87 win over Valencia Basket, delivering season high performances as Bayern bounced back from its loss to Partizan.

Dimitrijevic, Lucic lead Bayern’s bounce back win over Valencia 

Two days after falling 63‑69 at home to Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, [FC Bayern Munich](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fc-bayern-munich/mun/) returned to SAP Arena with a completely different look, defeating [Valencia Basket](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/valencia-basket/pam/) 93‑87 in a free‑flowing, high‑scoring matchup. Head coach Svetislav Pesic, who led Valencia to its last EuroLeague Playoffs berth in 2011, leaned heavily on former Valencia players [Neno Dimitrijevic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/neno-dimitrijevic/006085/) and [Vladimir Lucic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/vladimir-lucic/001288/) to spark the response.

Dimitrijevic has been Bayern's main point guard since his arrival earlier this month and had a strong performance against Valencia, finishing the game with season-highs of 12 points and 7 assists against just 1 turnover for a PIR of 16 off the bench. He scored back-to-back baskets late in the game to help Bayern seal the outcome, 89-78 with over 3 minutes remaining.

Lucic has deeper roots with Valencia; he played there for three seasons and helped the team win its third EuroCup title in 2014. He had a strong start and led Bayern to a 53-44 halftime lead with outstanding numbers. Before the break, Lucic had 13 points on 6-of-6 free throw shooting, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 fouls drawn for a PIR of 21. He finished with 19 points and a PIR of 26, both season-highs.

This was not the first time that Lucic had a great game against Valencia. He posted a career-high PIR of 35 on November 13, 2020, when he led Bayern to a 90-79 victory with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 8 fouls drawn.

After the game, Lucic stressed out the importance of bouncing back after an underwhelming performance on Tuesday night.

"The goal was to stop Valencia's transition game. I have been there, spent three years there and had a chance to be coached by Pedro \[Martinez\]. And I think that the team really fits perfect to his style. So we did a pretty good job stopping \[their\] transition," Lucici said. "We tried to bounce back after the defeat. We had two days here just trying to recover a little bit and go to the next one."

Once again, [Justinian Jessup](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/justinian-jessup/013290/) played a big role off the bench. In just 18 minutes, Jessup had 16 points and 3 rebounds for a PIR of 19. Over the last six games, Jessup has averaged 13.8 points on 77.3% two-point and 53.8% three-point shooting and a PIR of 16.0.

"Super important win. Valencia is obviously a very good team, so for us to come out with a lot of energy, a lot of effort, execute the game plan and come away with the win, it was big," Jessup said. "We got guys that can shoot the three ball really well. And also, I would say versatile players: Zay \[Isiaha Mike\], Andy \[Obst\], Lucha \[Vladimir Lucic\] all can do multiple things on the court, as well as Neno \[Dimitrijevic\]. They definitely showed it tonight and helped us get the win."

Bayern struggled from beyond the arc against Partizan, making just 7 of 27 three-point shots with elite shooter [Andreas Obst](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/andreas-obst/004508/) sidelined by illness. Coach Pesic's team proved not to depend on Obst's shooting as much as people think. Even though Obst when 1 of 7 from downtown against Valencia, his teammates combined to make 8 of 20 three-pointers (40% 3FG) to get the win. Power forward [Isiaha Mike](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/isiaha-mike/011836/), who had a PIR of -10 against Partizan, bounced back with 14 points on 3-of-6 three-point shooting, 6 rebounds and 3 assists for a PIR of 14. Bayern finished the game with twice as many assists (24) as turnovers (12) and a season-high PIR of 119.

FC Bayern Munich v Valencia Basket (2026-01-22T19:30:00.000Z)

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv continued its perfect home record since returning to Menora Mivtachim Arena, defeating Panathinaikos 75–71 in a defensive battle that marked a major shift from the team’s usual offensive style. With Roman Sorkin and Tamir Blatt stepping up and the defense holding firm, Maccabi earned its tenth win of the season and boosted its playoff hopes.

New defensive identity lifts Maccabi past Panathinaikos in Tel Aviv

[Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/maccabi-rapyd-tel-aviv/tel/)’s usual recipe for success is explosive offense, with an average of 94.8 points per game during the Israeli team’s nine victories ahead of Thursday’s meeting with [Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/panathinaikos-aktor-athens/pan/).

And that kind of offensive output has generally been necessary, because Maccabi has been afflicted by defensive problems throughout the season, allowing an average of 92.5 points per game – the second-worst in the EuroLeague.

But this time it was different.

Maccabi boosted its postseason challenge on Thursday night in an unfamiliar fashion, grabbing its tenth win of the season with a 75-71 victory over the Greens that owed very little to free-flowing offense and nearly everything to the grittier qualities of hard work and hustle.

It was by far Maccabi’s lowest winning points tally of the season (previously 83 points on the road at Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 14), and the team total of 10 assists was less than half its season average of 20.3. Maccabi could only convert 9 of its 33 three-point attempts (27.3%), and its 18 converted two-pointers was also well below the team average of 20.9 per night.

Nevertheless, those modest offensive numbers were compensated by a determined and disciplined defensive effort that never allowed Panathinaikos to gather any momentum – aside from a 0-7 burst at the very start of the game before Maccabi had found its defensive rhythm. From then on, it was an exceptionally close and physically contested game, which saw neither team hold a lead of more than 5 points at any stage during the last 26 minutes.

True, Maccabi led throughout the fourth quarter after starting the period with a 6-0 burst – but that doesn’t mean it was easy. The hosts could never find the offensive flow required to make the game safe, and Panathinaikos had opportunities to go ahead after pulling it back to 73-71 inside the last 2 minutes. But long-range shots from [TJ Shorts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tj-shorts/012608/), [Kostas Sloukas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kostas-sloukas/001926/) and [Jerian Grant](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jerian-grant/011204/) would not drop, and [Iffe Lundberg](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/iffe-lundberg/010781/) sealed the deal from the foul line.

The hard-fought triumph – which also came with a bit of fortune via those late missed shots by the Greens, some of which were wide open – means that Maccabi is now a perfect 3-0 at Menora Mivtachim Arena after returning to its home floor last month, and the opportunity to play in front of its famously loud and loyal fans clearly makes Oded Kattash’s men an entirely different proposition.

“We really missed playing here,” admitted forward [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/), who powered his team’s efforts with 13 points and 8 rebounds. “Every night we play here, it’s amazing energy and an amazing atmosphere. We’re happy to play here, and it just means more to us to play at home.”

Those views were echoed by [Tamir Blatt](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tamir-blatt/011193/), who scored all his 15 points from long range as he converted a personal best 5 of his 6 three-point attempts in an isolated example of offensive efficiency.

“The energy in the arena was unbelievable,” said the playmaker. “We’re blessed to have these fans pushing us, and we’re enjoying this kind of atmosphere.”

Fans can only do so much, of course, and coach Kattash emphasized the defensive work undertaken by his players.

“Great effort,” Kattash noted. “In the second half, defensively we stepped up, and that was a team effort. It wasn’t always nice, especially offensively – we could do better. But still, we were fighting, we stuck to the game plan and I like the effort. We had a specific game plan against Kostas Sloukas and we did a good job on him.”

The win keeps Maccabi hoping that it can recover from its terrible 2-8 start and climb all the way into the playoff places, but Kattash certainly wasn’t getting carried away as he concluded: “Every game we have to keep improving and be better for our next challenges.”

There are indeed many challenges ahead and Maccabi’s chances of making the postseason are still slim, but if the kind of defensive effort displayed on Thursday night becomes a weekly habit, you never know.

Despite one of its lowest offensive outputs of the season, Maccabi clamps down to improve to 3-0 at Menora Mivtachim Arena

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv v Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (2026-01-22T19:05:00.000Z)

Olympiacos Piraeus ended a nine-year winless run in Istanbul by defeating Anadolu Efes 74–68 on Thursday night. Behind early scoring bursts from Sasha Vezenkov and Tyler Dorsey and a commanding all‑around performance from Thomas Walkup, the Reds controlled the first half, survived an Efes comeback, and secured their fourth straight victory to remain unbeaten in 2026.

Olympiacos rides momentum to break the curse with win at Efes

It was back in 2017 when [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) got its last taste of victory away at [Anadolu Efes Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/anadolu-efes-istanbul/ist/). From that team led by current AS Monaco coach Vassilis Spanoulis, only [Kostas Papanikolaou](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kostas-papanikolaou/001255/) and [Nikola Milutinov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-milutinov/003941/) are in this Olympiacos roster, with the latter having missed out on Thursday’s game due to concussion.

From that April night nine years ago, Efes would go on to celebrate seven straight home victories against Olympiacos. That drought would finally come to an end with a 68-74 win on Thursday night, but the Reds didn’t have it easy for yet another time in front of a sold-out crowd at Turkcell Basketball Development Center.

Riding their momentum, coach Georgios Bartzokas’s side got off to a great start, with [Tyler Dorsey](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tyler-dorsey/009849/) hitting back-to-back triples for a 0-8 run to open the first quarter. Eager to finally break the curse, Olympiacos didn’t take its foot off the gas, as [Sasha Vezenkov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/sasha-vezenkov/003469/) scored 12 of his team's points for a 13-25 cushion after 10 minutes.

[Donta Hall](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/donta-hall/011196/) netted 8 off the bench, with [Tyson Ward](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tyson-ward/012610/) pitching in with 6 of his own, as the visitors opened a 31-48 lead at halftime thanks to solid defense and playing their signature free-flowing basketball on the other end of the floor.

Despite its poor recent form, Efes had no intention of going down without a fight. The hosts tightened up their defense and held one of EuroLeague’s finest offenses to just 10 points in the third quarter.

An inspired [Saben Lee](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/saben-lee/013389/) brought the energy from the bench against his former team, netting a layup in traffic before hitting a triple to bring the hosts within 61-63 midway through the fourth quarter. But a timeout from Bartzokas served as a wake-up call for the guests, who responded with a 0-8 run for a double-digit advantage.

[Thomas Walkup](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/thomas-walkup/008855/) unlocked Efes’s defense with a tough triple before buckets from Vezenkov and Dorsey made it 61-71 with less than 2 minutes to go.

The absences of both [Frank Ntilikina](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/frank-ntilikina/006591/) and [Monte Morris](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/monte-morris/014212/) due to their respective injuries saw Walkup stay on the floor for over 33 minutes and he was sublime throughout. The veteran guard recorded 9 assists and 4 rebounds along with a steal and 6 points – including the aforementioned clutch triple.

In fact, Walkup seems to have found his range from deep recently, having made 8-for-11 from beyond the arc over the last three games after shooting just 23% in the first 21 rounds.

“With the roster that we’ve built, it’s super easy to play as a point guard,” a humble Walkup told EuroLeague TV. “Everybody can score, everybody can shoot. The ball just really flows, so I think not just myself but the whole team is in a great rhythm right now.”

Indeed, Olympiacos has won four straight and seven of its last eight games, remaining undefeated in 2026. Ghosts of the past came back to hunt the Reds in the second half against Efes, but they managed to keep their composure and closed the game to complete a perfect double-round week.

“Winning over here is really important,” Bartzokas said. “Every game in the EuroLeague, especially on the road, is really important.”

What lies ahead for Olympiacos is a demanding clash against FC Barcelona, which crushed the Reds 98-85 at Palau Blaugrana back in early December. However, the landscape looks very different right now for the Greek side, which will look to benefit from its momentum to seek revenge on home soil.

The Reds hadn’t won away at Efes since 2017

Anadolu Efes Istanbul v Olympiacos Piraeus (2026-01-22T17:30:00.000Z)

A career-best performance in a winning effort allowed Ebuka Izundu to earn MVP of the Round honors for the first time in his career.

Izundu led Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade to a 96-100 overtime victory over AS Monaco with 22 points on 9-of-11 two-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block and 5 fouls drawn for a PIR of 36, a new personal-best mark and the highest in Round 23, all in less than 22 minutes on the floor. 

Round 23 MVP: Ebuka Izundu, Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade

A career-best performance in a winning effort allowed [Ebuka Izundu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/ebuka-izundu/014029/) to earn MVP of the Round honors for the first time in his career.

Izundu led Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade to a 96-100 overtime victory over AS Monaco with 22 points on 9-of-11 two-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block and 5 fouls drawn for a PIR of 36, a new personal-best mark and the highest in Round 23, all in less than 22 minutes on the floor. He is the third Zvezda player to earn MVP of the Round honors this season, after Jordan Nwora (Round 4) and Chima Moneke (Round 7, shared with Sylvain Francisco of Zalgiris Kaunas).

[Kameron Taylor](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kameron-taylor/011217/) starred for Valencia Basket in a 98-84 home win over Paris Basketball with 28 points on 6-of-8 two-pointers, 2-of-5 three-pointers and 10-of-10 free throws. He added 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 6 fouls drawn for a PIR of 33.

[Sasha Vezenkov](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sasha-vezenkov/003469/) of Olympiacos Piraeus amassed a PIR of 32 in his team's 100-93 home win over Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv. He finished the game with 28 points on 4-of-6 two-pointers, 6-of-8 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 fouls drawn.

[McKinley Wright](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mckinley-wright-iv/012606/) of Dubai Basketball and [Carsen Edwards](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/carsen-edwards/011987/) of Virtus Bologna, each with a PIR of 30, complete the top performances in Round 23. Wright posted a PIR of 30 as Dubai Basketball fell 91-89 to FC Barcelona. He recorded 29 points on 7-of-11 two-pointers, 4-of-4 triples and 3-of-4 free throws, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 fouls drawn. Edwards had 35 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals and 5 fouls drawn in Virtus's 80-85 loss against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul.

### Individual highs: Carsen Edwards, Virtus, 35 points

Carsen Edwards of Virtus was this round's top scorer with 35 points. Nadir Hifi of Paris is the competition's top scorer with 19.7 points per game.

Izundu led all rebounders in Round 23 by pulling down 12. Nikola Milutinov of Olympiacos leads the overall standings with 7.7 boards per game.

Crvena Zvezda's Codi Miller-McIntyre dished 11 assists in this round. Francisco is first overall in this category with 6.8 assists per game.

Kevin Punter of Barcelona, Shavon Shields of EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and Alessandro Pajola of Virtus collected 4 steals apiece in Round 23. Alpha Diallo of Monaco stays atop the overall standings with 1.7 steals per game.

Dan Oturu of Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv had 4 blocks in this round. Walter Tavares of Real Madrid is the competition's best shot blocker with 1.9 rejections per game.

The action keeps on rolling with Round 24 of the EuroLeague Regular Season taking flight on Thursday and Friday. Here’s your guide to the games.

At a glance: The action shows no sign of slowing down in Round 24

The action keeps on rolling with Round 24 of the EuroLeague Regular Season taking flight on Thursday and Friday. Here’s your guide to the games.

## Thursday, January 22

### Anadolu Efes Istanbul vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (18:30 CET)

The action tips off with Efes (6-17) aiming to avoid an eighth straight loss as it welcomes in-form Olympiacos (14-8). Injury-hit Efes will continue to miss Jordan Loyd and Vincent Poirier, while Nikola Milutinov will be absent for the visitor after sustaining a head injury during Tuesday’s win over Maccabi – a triumph that took the Reds to three straight victories. Milutinov’s absence should see an increase in playing time for ex-Efes center Tyrique Jones, who made his Olympiacos debut earlier this week with 6 points in 7 minutes. The Turkish team pulled off a shock win in Piraeus in Round 4 behind 20 points from long-range shooting forward Cole Swider, and desperately needs someone to similarly step up and stop the rot on Thursday night.

### Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (20:05 CET)

Maccabi (9-14) will look to boost its playoffs ambitions by overcoming Panathinaikos (14-9) in Tel Aviv. The home team is sweating on the fitness of Lonnie Walker, while captain John DiBartolomeo is definitely missing. Leading scorer Kendrick Nunn’s ongoing absence didn’t prevent Panathinaikos from comfortably overcoming Baskonia earlier this week, when summer signing Vassilis Toliopoulos marked his long-awaited return from injury by pouring in 21 points with 5 three-pointers. Maccabi also welcomed back a long-term injury absentee earlier this week, with Jeff Dowtin providing 15 points in the narrow loss at Olympiacos. The host will look for Roman Sorkin to set the tone by dominating his inside battle with Juancho Hernangomez, who has made multiple triples in three of the last four games.

### EA7 Emporio Armani Milan vs. Zalgiris Kaunas (20:30 CET)

Inconsistent Milan (11-12) will look to bounce back to winning ways and climb closer to the top ten by overcoming direct rival Zalgiris (13-10). Dynamic guard Leandro Bolmaro is a game-time decision for the host, which needs a major defensive improvement after allowing 106 points to lose in Madrid on Tuesday. Zalgiris arrives with plenty of confidence after taking an emphatic road win from ASVEL on Tuesday, when big man Moses Wright again demonstrated his inside power with 18 points and 7 rebounds. It’s truly a must-win matchup for Milan, which would love to also claim head-to-head advantage by taking its second win of the campaign over Zalgiris – Marko Guduric led the way with 14 points and 7 rebounds when the Italian team triumphed in Kaunas in Round 5.

### FC Bayern Munich vs. Valencia Basket (20:30 CET)

Valencia (15-8) will look to strengthen its top four challenge by completing perfect week with a win at Bayern (8-15). The host will hope to welcome back key guards Stefan Jovic and Andreas Obst after they missed Tuesday’s home loss to Partizan, which saw the German team desperately struggle offensively. There are no such problems for Valencia, which has a fully available roster and delivered a solid all-round performance to down Paris two days ago. Kam Taylor poured in a career-high 28 points in that game, while Neal Sako will hope to cause more carnage in the paint after grabbing 7 offensive boards. Bayern needs to match his physicality through fast-improving Wenyen Gabriel, who has recorded consecutive double-digit scoring nights for the first time this season.

### Real Madrid vs. AS Monaco (20:45 CET)

A big battle between two of the four teams tied for third place will see Real (15-8) seek another home win against Monaco (15-8). Los Blancos improved its record in Madrid to 11-1 by comfortably downing Milan on Tuesday, while Monaco will need to find fresh reserves of energy after a home overtime loss to Crvena Zvezda the same night. Real’s size and strength – epitomised by Walter Tavares – is reflected in league-leading stats in blocks (4.1 per game) and defensive rebounds (25.9), so visiting star Nikola Mirotic faces a major challenge in the paint against his former team. Monaco won an exciting meeting in December, 100-95, behind 22 points from Elie Okobo, and managed to snare 17 offensive rebounds on that occasion, so Real will look to recover its usual toughness as it targets the double prize of victory plus head-to-head advantage.

### Paris Basketball vs. Dubai Basketball (21:00 CET)

Paris (7-15) needs to boost its fading playoffs ambitions by overcoming direct rival Dubai (10-13). New signing Bruno Caboclo could make his debut to reinforce Dubai’s interior, while Dzanan Musa will continue his comeback after marking his first appearance since Round 3 with 5 points in Tuesday’s narrow loss at Barcelona. The battle for backcourt dominance will feature two players coming off great performances despite defeat: Paris playmaker Justin Robinson had 14 points and 9 assists at Valencia, while Dubai’s McKinley Wright drained 29 points on 11-of-15 field goal shooting in Barcelona – Wright’s 24 points were key to Dubai’s thrilling 90-89 win over Paris in November. The host will expect an immediate bounce back from Nadir Hifi, who only scored 8 points earlier this week.

## Friday, January 23

### Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul vs. Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (18:45 CET)

High-flying Fenerbahce (15-7) is looking to strengthen its position in the top four as it welcomes road strugglers Baskonia (8-15). The reigning champ will hope to welcome back Wade Baldwin and Brandon Boston after they missed Wednesday’s win at Virtus, while Baskonia is expected to be without long-range shooting threats Markus Howard and Markquis Nowell. Fener’s midweek victory – its sixth in seven games – came courtesy of a career night from Talen Horton-Tucker, netting 28 points on 4-of-5 three-point shooting. But the hosts will continue to base its gameplan on the league’s stingiest defense, allowing just 79.8 points per game. That could spell a long night for Baskonia, which never really competed in a comprehensive loss at Panathinaikos on Tuesday despite Kobi Simmons maintaining his upturn in form with a third straight double-digit scoring night.

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv (20:30 CET)

Partizan (7-16) will attempt to continue its resurgence by upsetting league leader Hapoel (16-6) in a game taking place in Munich. The absence of Duane Washington, Shake Milton and Vanja Marinkovic did not prevent Partizan from grabbing a defensively-dominant victory at Bayern on Tuesday, and staying in the same city could help the Serbian team deliver a similarly strong performance to snap Hapoel’s three-game winning run. The visitor showed it can also rely on smothering defense by holding Efes to 66 points earlier this week, helped by Dan Oturu powering the paint with 8 points and 10 boards. Oturu will look to dominate Partizan’s recent signing Tonye Jekiri, who also grabbed 8 rebounds earlier this week, and this could well become a gruelling, physical encounter.

### Virtus Bologna vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (20:30 CET)

Crvena Zvezda (13-10) is targeting a second road win of the week as it travels for a key matchup with direct rival Virtus (11-12). The Serbian team will need to dig deep into its energy supplies after a hard-earned overtime win in Monaco on Tuesday, dominated by a big double-double from Ebuka Izundu (22 points, 12 boards). Zvezda also dished 29 assists in that win – orchestrated by 11 from Codi Miller-McIntyre – and will need similarly slick ball movement to unsettle a Virtus team which is coming off a narrow loss to Fenerbahce despite 35 points from Carsen Edwards. Head-to-head advantage is looming prominently over this contest, with Virtus needing a win of 2 points or more in regulation, after Zvezda edged the Round 17 matchup, 90-89, behind 20 points from the ever-dangerous Jordan Nwora.

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. FC Barcelona (20:45 CET)

Lowly ASVEL (6-17) will attempt to climb away from the foot of the standings by upsetting Barcelona (15-8). The host will hope scoring star Glynn Watson can return from injury, while new signing Braian Angolo is set for his debut. Barca arrives with a sense of relief after escaping a tough test from Dubai on Tuesday thanks to a game-winner from red-hot Dario Brizuela, whose 25 points took his scoring average to 16.4 points over the last seven games. ASVEL has lost four straight but can look for inspiration from ex-Barca playmaker Thomas Heurtel, who netted a season-high 21 points in Tuesday’s defeat against Zalgiris. Barca ranks second in the league in steals (7.5 per game), with Kevin Punter in top ball-hawk form after grabbing 4 steals earlier this week.

Down six players – including starting point guard Wade Baldwin, who was a late scratch – Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul needed a hero at Virtus Bologna. Talen Horton-Tucker answered the call.

Talen Horton-Tucker lifts shorthanded Fenerbahce past Carsen Edwards, Virtus

Down six players – including starting point guard Wade Baldwin, who was a late scratch – [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/) needed a hero at [Virtus Bologna](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/teams/virtus-segafredo-bologna/vir/). [Talen Horton-Tucker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/talen-horton-tucker/014124/) answered the call.

The problem was that [Carsen Edwards](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/carsen-edwards/011987/) had the same idea.

The Virtus guard poured in 15 points in the first quarter and had 19 by halftime as the hosts built a 47-40 lead. But everything flipped after the break. Fenerbahce dialed up its championship-level defense, holding Virtus to just 33 second-half points and escaping with an 80-85 win.

Virtus Bologna-Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul | Round 23 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague

It was only Virtus’s third home loss of the season at Virtus Arena, where it has looked nearly unbeatable. Horton-Tucker’s career-high 28 points – including a personal-best 4 made three-pointers – proved just enough to fend off Edwards, who finished with 35 points, one shy of his own career high.

“He had a great performance,” Horton-Tucker said of Edwards. “They’re a good team, well coached. They played hard the whole game and gave us a great test. At this point of the season, we’re just trying to scrap out wins.”

In his rookie EuroLeague season, the 25-year-old guard has become a phenomenon for the ease with which he gets downhill. Few players can match his strength or physicality attacking the rim. And if Horton-Tucker continues to grow as a perimeter threat – he has scored in double figures in nine straight games and is averaging 14.8 points per game – it’s hard to see how defenses can contain him.

Case in point: With the shot clock winding down late, Horton-Tucker calmly stepped left and buried a triple over [Saliou Niang](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/saliou-niang/012687/) with 23 seconds remaining, a sequence sure to haunt opposing coaches.

There’s more to his impact than scoring. Horton-Tucker’s basketball IQ allows him to punish help defense, regularly kicking out to open shooters when his drives draw multiple defenders. With Baldwin unavailable to organize the offense, Horton-Tucker’s aggressiveness in Bologna helped Fenerbahce control the tempo.

“Everybody’s helping him,” coach Saras Jasikevicius told EuroLeague TV. “We’re a team. I’m helping, the veteran players are helping him. It’s a process. Obviously, he’s doing really well. The best thing about him is there’s still so much room for improvement.”

Without Baldwin, Bonzie Colson, Brandon Boston Jr., new signing Chris Silva, Scottie Wilbekin and Arturs Zagars, it would have been easy for Fenerbahce to fold, especially after trailing by seven at halftime. Instead, the defending champions showed their resolve, starting on the defensive end.

Virtus went seven minutes and eight seconds without a field goal to open the third quarter and managed just 13 points in the period.

“It’s a great character win for our guys,” Jasikevicius said. “We’re extremely shorthanded, and a lot was going against us. Holding them to 33 points in the second half is a completely different picture than the first. When you play this type of defense, you’re going to make some shots.”

One player who embodied Fenerbahce’s second-half turnaround was [Tarik Biberovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tarik-biberovic/006961/). Scoreless at halftime, the 24-year-old erupted for 15 points after the break, including 10 in the fourth quarter, while also making his presence felt defensively.

“I was mad at myself, honestly,” Biberovic said. “I couldn’t deal with it, so I put all my anger into the second half. I started on defense and then the shots came. That was the story.”

With the win, Fenerbahce improved to 15-7, its sixth victory in seven games, and moved into second place in the standings ahead of Friday’s matchup with Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz. Virtus fell to 10-11 and will look to bounce back Friday against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade.

With the defending champions missing six players due to injury, THT delivered when it mattered most

Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv will remain without its leading scorer, [Lonnie Walker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/lonnie-walker-iv/013403/), after the club confirmed on Wednesday that the guard is still recovering from the shoulder muscle tear he suffered earlier this month and is expected to miss approximately two more weeks.

Walker sustained the injury during Round 19 against FC Bayern Munich, a game in which he was forced to leave the court after just a few minutes while clutching his left shoulder. He has not played since.

Walker has been one of Maccabi’s most impactful players this season, leading the team in scoring at 15.3 points per game. His absence adds to an already challenging stretch for Maccabi, which is [also without John DiBartolomeo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/maccabi-captain-dibartolomeo-to-miss-time-with-groin-injury/), though backcourt mate Jeff Dowtin made his injury return on Tuesday against Olympiacos.
