Debuting with Perspektiva Ilirija on Saturday, Boban Marjanovic went on the wrong end of one-way traffic with Buducnost VOLI comfortably prevailing, 86-66, in Ljubljana’s Tivoli Hall.
After entering late in the first quarter of the 2025-26 AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season fixture for the Slovenian club coached by Stipe Modric, the 37-year-old center lasted 13:44, tallying six points, two rebounds, and one assist.
The former NBA and EuroLeague player returned to the ABA League, ten years after his last appearance with Crvena Zvezda Telekom, shortly before taking his talents to the San Antonio Spurs. This was also his first game in nine months, following the end of his spell with the Zhejiang Lions in China’s CBA.
The Round 10 loss reduced his new side to 2-7 in Group B.
The team run by general manager Sasa Doncic, father of his former Dallas Mavericks teammate Luka, is a newcomer to the top division of the regional league, after earning promotion from the second tier last season.
