Slavia Prague Lands Trialist for BCL Bid

Slavia Prague ERA NBK has secured the services of American forward-center Martez Brown on a trial contract, aiming to strengthen their squad for the upcoming Basketball Champions League. Brown, a 25-year-old from Alabama, brings experience from the G League and the Australian league. His arrival fills the team's final vacant roster slot.

Brown is anticipated to provide a significant boost to Slavia Prague's interior defense and rebounding capabilities. The team has the option to extend his contract for the remainder of the 2026-27 season. This move comes as head coach Oren Amiel integrates Brown into a deep roster as they prepare for a challenging Group G schedule in the Basketball Champions League, facing ALBA Berlin, Igokea m:tel, and Surne Bilbao.

In related news, Lions de Geneve has also made a frontcourt addition, signing forward Dimitris Klonaras to a two-month contract with an extension option. This signing precedes the Samokov tournaments, which will determine the final two regular-season berths before the main stage commences on October 6.
