The return of Linas Kleiza in Europe is all but official and can be considered one of the biggest summer moves in Euroleague. As many news outlets reported and as Eurohoops sources also confirmed, there is a done deal between the Lithuanian scorer and Fenerbahce/ Ulker for the next two seasons. As he said in his recent interview with Eurohoops, Kleiza wants to be part of a winning situation and he will help his new team compete for the Euroleague and the domestic Turkish trophies.

The official announcement came from an other Turkish club. Anadolu Efes‘ new guard is 23 years old Scotty Hopson. After two seasons in Greece and Israel, Hopson will make his Euroleague debut. Also Euroleague newcomer Stelmet Zielona Gora from Poland announced the addition of three new players in its roster. Russell Robinson, Craig Brackins and former NBAer Christian Eyenga are the new faces.
