Safiport Erokspor and Kolossos H Hotels Collection are aggressively reshaping their rosters ahead of their projected participation in the 2026–27 Basketball Champions League season.
The Turkish side finalized major domestic signings by welcoming Muhsin Yasar and Yunus Emre Sonsırma on Tuesday. The veteran center brings a commanding frontcourt presence backed by 58 league appearances with Galatasaray MCT Technic, Karsiyaka, Darusafaka Lassa, Gaziantep, and Tofas. The experienced guard adds backcourt stability with 49 tournament games under his belt from previous stints at Manisa Divissa, Bahcesehir Koleji, Galatasaray Nef, and Pinar Karsiyaka.
This core pairs with retained 29-year-old forward Egehan Arna, who holds BCL experience with Besiktas, alongside a contract extension for Metehan Akyel. Continuity remains central for the Istanbul-based organization, which formally retained head coach Ufuk Sarica, a tactician who previously commanded Karsiyaka to extended journeys.
On Wednesday, 25-year-old point guard Ezra Manjon officially joined Kolossos, adding to a highly active offseason strategy from Rhodes, including the recent signing of 33-year-old Devonte Upson. The administrative staff surrounded these additions with foreign perimeter threats like Payton Willis, a sniper with brief tournament exposure at La Laguna Tenerife, and Jordan Barnett. Local reinforcements Giorgos Kamperidis and Nikos Tsiakmas contribute a combined 44 games of Champions League experience.
To anchor the revamped rotations, the Greek representative finalized the retention of Zois Karampelas, a seasoned playmaker with 33 Champions League appearances for Peristeri winmasters and AEK Betsson, while ensuring strategic stability by extending the tenure of head coach Aris Lykogiannis.
