Dubai Basketball would like to thank Olympiacos for their professionalism, cooperation and constructive approach in making possible the transfer of Thomas Walkup to our club.

Having spent many successful years with Olympiacos, one of the most historic and successful clubs in European basketball, Thomas brings significant experience, leadership and winning mentality to Dubai Basketball.

We are very pleased to welcome Thomas to our organisation and we are confident that he will be an important addition to our team as we continue to grow and compete at the highest level.

“Thomas is a very important signing for Dubai Basketball and another step forward in the direction we want to take as a club. His understanding of the game, competitiveness and ability to make the players around him better will be extremely valuable for our team. I would also like to personally thank the management of Olympiacos for reaching an agreement that allows Thomas to begin his new chapter with Dubai Basketball,” said Dejan Kamenjasevic, President of Dubai Basketball.

We have great respect for Olympiacos and we hope this agreement can contribute to a positive and lasting relationship between our clubs in the future.
