The BKT EuroCup landscape continues to take shape as various clubs are actively reinforcing their rosters ahead of the 2026-27 installment of Euroleague Basketball’s second-tier league.
The week’s biggest headlines arrived on Thursday when PAOK delivered a major signing, aggressively bolstering the roster for newly appointed head coach Andrea Trinchieri.
The Greek club finalized a two-year deal with Marcus Foster. The 31-year-old shooting guard brings elite backcourt experience, including a highly productive 24-game stint with Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv during the Israeli side’s championship run in the 2024-25 season.
