The offseason for the upcoming edition of the BKT EuroCup is officially underway, with three confirmed clubs recently completing roster moves.
Buducnost VOLI secured a vital piece on Saturday by extending the contract of 33-year-old playmaker Yogi Ferrell. The experienced guard, a veteran of 259 NBA games, committed to the Montenegrin champions through the end of the 2026-27 campaign. Fresh off an impressive continental campaign where he averaged over 13.2 points, 4.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while showcasing elite perimeter shooting accuracy, his overseas career spanned Greece, Slovenia, and China before taking his talents to Podgorica in 2023.
Simultaneously on Saturday, ratiopharm Ulm injected elite scoring depth into their backcourt rotation by securing swingman Ibi Watson. The dynamic perimeter threat signed a two-year contract after a standout season with BMA365 Bamberg Baskets. He averaged nearly 16 points per game in Germany’s easyCredit BBL, helping his former squad secure the domestic BBL-Pokal trophy. The former Michigan and Dayton standout in the NCAA recently fueled a three-game sweep to eliminate his new employers from the BBL Playoffs 2026.
On Friday, Niners Chemnitz finalized a deal to bring the 22-year-old German center Alexander Richardson back to Europe. The physical powerhouse spent the 2025-26 season playing in the United States college system for Loyola University Chicago. Standing at over two meters tall, the former junior national team representative previously excelled in lower divisions of Germany, and also logged 11 appearances in the top-flight with Fraport Skyliners.
