8 EuroLeague Players Still on the Market

The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague witnessed an active offseason, with many teams making ambitious signings. Most clubs have entered the new season with hopes of competing for Playoff and Play-In spots. However, despite the season’s start, many teams are still searching for new signings.

On the other hand, most of the top-quality players who were free agents have found new homes by now. Still, a few notable names remain on the market, available for teams looking to make late additions to their rosters. Here’s a look at some of the key free agents still available:

1. Jordan Loyd
   • Age: 31
   • 2022-23 Averages (Maccabi): 15.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists in 2 games
     After a short stint with Maccabi Tel Aviv this season, Jordan Loyd is once again a free agent due to the ongoing conflict in Israel. Known for his scoring and playmaking abilities, Loyd is expected to land with a new team soon, given his offensive prowess and EuroLeague experience.
2. Raul Neto
   • Age: 32
   • 2022-23 Averages: N/A
     The Brazilian point guard joined Fenerbahçe Beko with high expectations but suffered a serious knee injury during the summer with the national team, leading to his departure from the club before playing a single game. Neto remains on the radar of EuroLeague teams looking for a backup point guard, though his recent injury complicates his future.
3. Ricky Rubio
   • Age: 33
   • 2022-23 Averages (Barcelona): 4.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals in 13 games
     After struggling with injuries and mental health challenges, Rubio made his return to Europe last season with Barcelona. While his form was inconsistent, the Spanish legend could still be a valuable addition for teams seeking a veteran leader in their backcourt.
4. James Nunnally
   • Age: 33
   • 2022-23 Averages (Partizan): 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists in 32 games
     The experienced forward, who previously played for Fenerbahçe and Partizan, remains unsigned after his departure from Partizan. Known for his scoring and defense, Nunnally could find a new team soon, as EuroLeague clubs often value his skill set.
5. John Brown
   • Age: 32
   • 2022-23 Averages (Monaco): 6.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 steals in 36 games
     Despite modest stats, Brown was one of AS Monaco’s key defenders and helped lead them to a top-three finish in the regular season. Known for his defensive versatility, Brown is recovering from a shoulder injury that will keep him out until December. Once healthy, he is expected to draw interest from EuroLeague teams.
6. Jordan Mickey
   • Age: 29
   • 2022-23 Averages (Virtus Bologna): 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 42% 3-point shooting in 25 games
     The former NBA forward is still on the market after leaving Virtus Bologna. Mickey’s mix of inside scoring and outside shooting makes him a versatile big man. Though his athleticism has slightly declined, he could still be a valuable piece for teams needing frontcourt depth.
7. Luke Sikma
   • Age: 35
   • 2022-23 Averages (Olympiakos): 2.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists in limited minutes
     After a long and successful stint with ALBA Berlin, Sikma joined Olympiakos but struggled with injuries and limited playing time. Despite being past his prime, Sikma’s basketball IQ and playmaking skills could still be useful for EuroLeague teams looking for a veteran forward.
8. Mike Scott
   • Age: 35
   • 2022-23 Averages (ASVEL): 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists in 29 games
     The former NBA player joined ASVEL last season and had a solid campaign, showing his value as a stretch forward. While age may limit his mobility, Scott’s shooting touch and experience could still earn him another chance in the EuroLeague.

As the season progresses, these players remain on the radar of teams looking to strengthen their rosters for the challenging EuroLeague campaign ahead.
