Beşiktaş GAİN has officially signed American guard Devon Dotson as the club continues to build its roster for the 2025–26 season.

Dotson, 25, spent last season with Joventut Badalona, where he impressed in both the Spanish Liga Endesa and the EuroCup.

He averaged 13.1 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in the ACB, and added 13.7 points and 3.8 assists per game in EuroCup play.

A former Kansas standout, Dotson began his pro career with the Chicago Bulls and later played in the NBA G League. His move to Beşiktaş marks his second season in Europe and a key addition to the Istanbul club’s backcourt.
