Dubai, 9 July 2025: Serbian Olympic bronze medallist Aleksa Avramović returns to the EuroLeague with Dubai Basketball after a season with CSKA Moscow, making him Dubai’s newest addition to the 2025/26 roster following Dzanan Musa.

The point guard, Aleksa Avramović , and Dubai Basketball have reached an agreement for the next three seasons, until June 2028. The 30-year-old, who stands 1.93-metres tall, joins from CSKA Moscow, where he averaged 12.2 points and 3.4 assists in 20 minutes per game.

EuroLeague Experience

Avramović played a total of 47 EuroLeague games with Partizan Belgrade between 2022 and 2024, where he led a championship-winning campaign – clinching the 2022/23 ABA League title. In Europe’s top competition, the Serbian guard averaged 8.3 points in 16 minutes per game. His standout performance came on February 29, 2024, against Anadolu Efes, where he scored 30 points and registered a performance index rating of 32.

In the EuroCup, Avramović appeared in 26 games between his stints with Partizan and Unicaja.

Impressive Career

Dubai Basketball’s newest addition has played in Serbia, Italy, Spain, and Russia. In his home country, he played for his hometown team, Čačak, and OKK Belgrade from 2013 to 2016. He then spent three seasons with Varese in Italy, where his development drew attention from Spain’s ACB League, signing his first season with the Spaniards in 2019. In the 2020/21 ACB season, he stood out as one of the league’s top performers with averages of 16.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over 36 games.

Return to Serbia

His strong performances with Estudiantes in Madrid led to a move to Partizan, where he played from 2021 to 2024. Under coach Zeljko Obradovic, he posted regular-season ABA League averages of 10.4, 8.8, and 11.3 points per game over three seasons.

Most recently, he played the 2024/25 season with CSKA Moscow, where he was one of the team’s key players and helped lead them to the VTB League title.

With the addition of Aleksa Avramović, Dubai Basketball continues to build an experienced squad ahead of their inaugural EuroLeague season. His elite-level exposure and adaptable skillset strengthen the team’s competitive edge, as the club lays the foundation for success, representing the Middle East in a historical feat on Europe’s biggest basketball platform.
