The Basketball Champions League offseason remains incredibly dynamic, with several prominent clubs finalizing critical roster moves ahead of the upcoming 2026–27 campaign on Tuesday.
Seeking to bolster its backcourt, UCAM Murcia penned Argentinian point guard Juani Marcos to a two-year contract, shortly after his release from FC Barcelona. The Rosario native, who has been based in Spain since beginning his initial stint with the Catalan giants’ reserve squad in 2019, joins the BCL as an intriguing newcomer after a brief second spell in Barca.
Meanwhile, defending champions Rytas added depth to their roster by signing Matas Jogela. The Lithuanian guard returns to his home country on a two-year guaranteed contract following a three-year stint abroad, bringing valuable tournament experience to the titleholders after previously logging 24 appearances for Rio Breogan and Neptunas.
In another significant backcourt addition, back-to-back Orlen Basket Liga champions Legia Warsaw picked up Kristers Zoriks, penning him to a two-year deal. A regular with the senior national team of Latvia, he adds proven Champions League pedigree to the Polish outfit, having already competed in 26 games with VEF Riga.
Further bolstering the interior presence across the league, Cholet completed its frontline rotation by inking Lynn Kidd. The young big transitions to France after spending his debut professional campaign with Tofas, where he logged 12 BCL appearances, averaging 7.0 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest.
Finally, Windrose Giants Antwerp injected youthful energy into their ranks by securing Cesare Edwards on a one-year agreement.
