Dubai, 12 July 2025: Dubai Basketball has secured Bosnian centre Kenan Kamenjaš on a two-year deal, adding one of the ABA League’s most promising talents to Dubai’s roster ahead of the club’s debut EuroLeague campaign.

Standing at 2.07 metres, the 25-year-old will step onto Europe’s biggest stage for the first time as he joins Dubai Basketball in its historic effort to compete among the world’s elite.

ABA League Dominance

The Bosnian center arrives from Budućnost VOLI, where he made a strong impact in the paint. He began the 2023/24 season with SC Derby before joining Budućnost, averaging 13.2 points and 8.3 rebounds across both stints.

In the 2024/25 campaign, Kamenjaš continued to impress, posting 11.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, with a PIR of 17.8. He also stood out in the EuroCup, where he contributed 10.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Not unfamiliar with Dubai’s playing style, Kamenjaš was a pivotal part of the team that delivered one of Dubai Basketball’s only away game losses in the ABA League regular season. Having contributed to 39 games for the Montenegrin team last season, Kamenjaš is looking to bring a new wave of offensive basketball.

Prior to his time in Podgorica, Kamenjaš rose through the ranks at Spars Sarajevo, debuting professionally in 2017 and steadily establishing himself as one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s brightest talents. A consistent figure in the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, Kamenjaš has featured in FIBA Basketball World Cup and EuroBasket qualifiers, adding valuable international experience to his growing resume of experience.

EuroLeague Expansion

Dubai Basketball enters this season with the ambition to challenge the best clubs in Europe, bringing world-class basketball to the heart of the city at Coca-Cola Arena. After finishing third in their inaugural ABA League season, Dubai now aims to make a historic mark in Europe’s most prestigious competition – EuroLeague.

With less than 2 months to the start of the 2025/26 season, fans are urged to register their interest to attend Dubai Basketball home games on the Coca-Cola Arena website, with limited time left to avail exclusive discounts and Early Bird access to season tickets.
