Luka Scuka officially arrived at Kids&Us Manresa on Monday afternoon, marking his return to the BKT EuroCup.
The 2.06-meter forward-center carries the experience of 26 league appearances with Cedevita Olimpija to his new side in Euroleague Basketball’s second-tier club continental competition. The 24-year-old Slovenian international had been linked with a move to Georgetown, but the transfer fell through. Instead, he chose to stay in Europe to weigh his options.
The Manresa newcomer is a familiar face around FIBA basketball, featuring on Slovenia’s senior national team over recent years. He played alongside NBA superstar Luka Doncic during EuroBasket 2025 and the Piraeus Olympic Qualifying Tournament in 2024 ahead of the Paris Games.

Scuka now joins a team managed by head coach Diego Ocampo. The current roster includes Chibuzo Agbo, Timmy Allen, Ferran Bassas, Lucas Beaufort, Hugo Benitez, Michael Enabulele, Gustav Drejer Erichsen, Gerard Fernandez, Lukasz Kolenda, Yordan Minchev, Guillem Naspler, JD Notae, Nick Ongenda, Pierre Oriola, Lucas Sanchez, Pablo Tamba, Eric Vila, and Rafa Villar. Furthermore, Manresa is reportedly close to finalizing a deal with former NBA forward Isaiah Mobley.
Ocampo’s squad stands at 3–2 in Group D of the 2026–27 Regular Season. Their next test comes on Wednesday, when they face Lietkabelis at Panevezys’ Kalnapilio Arena in Round 6.

Meanwhile, Turk Telekom has confirmed a roster setback after sidelining Tony Taylor on Sunday. The 36-year-old point guard hurt his left ankle during last week’s EuroCup action. It is a tough loss for the Ankara club, which sits at the bottom of Group B with a 1–4 record. In their Round 6 fixture on Wednesday, they host the Skyliners at Ankara Arena.
