Aleksa Avramovic becomes Dubai Basketball’s second signing after EuroLeague entry

DUBAI: Serbian Olympic bronze medalist Aleksa Avramovic returns to the EuroLeague with Dubai Basketball after a season with CSKA Moscow, making him Dubai’s newest addition to the 2025-2026 roster following Dzanan Musa.

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

Avramovic played 47 EuroLeague games with Partizan Belgrade between 2022 and 2024, where he led a championship-winning campaign — clinching the 2022-2023 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 Feb. 29, 2024, against Anadolu Efes, where he scored 30 points and registered a performance index rating of 32.

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

Dubai Basketball’s newest addition has played in Serbia, Italy, Spain and Russia. In his home country, he played for his hometown team, Cacak, 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 2020-2021 ACB season, he was one of the league’s top performers with averages of 16.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists over 36 games.

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.
