Pauly Paulicap signed a contract with BAXI Manresa for the rest of the 2025-26 season.
The deal was announced on Tuesday, shortly following the official release from his contract with Promitheas Vikos Cola and ahead of the deadline to register new players in the BKT EuroCup.
With the team based in Patras in Basketball Champions League Season X, powered by Ameresco SUNEL, the 28-year-old forward averaged 4.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest over four appearances until a two-game sweep at the hands of Elan Chalon and elimination in the Play-Ins after a 3-3 run in Group A of the Regular Season. The next continental assignment is the EuroCup, with five games left in the Regular Season.
Taking his talents to the BCL at the top of the season marked Paulicap’s first experience in European club continental competitions. From the NCAA run with Manhattan, DePaul, and West Virginia, he turned pro in 2022. After Cyprus and Italy, his third European stop was in Greece, which led him to Spain. He is expected to start practices with his new team over the next few days.
The New York native meets Diego Ocampo’s side at 7-6 in Group A of the EuroCup, one game safe inside the top postseason seeds with five fixtures left in the 18-game double-legged round-robin schedule. In Spain’s Liga Endesa, a 6-9 tally ranks 14th, three games from a playoff berth and three games away from the relegation zone.
Later Tuesday in EuroCup’s Round 14, Manresa faces Bahcesehir Koleji in Istanbul’s Sinan Erdem Dome.
