Armoni Brooks will play for Valencia Basket next season on loan from ASVEL, something that was first confirmed by journalist Chema de Lucas, and later received official confirmation.
The 28-year-old guard joined ASVEL earlier this summer leave without making an official appearance, following the financial uncertainty that disrupted the French club’s ambitious project. He will join Valencia on a one-year loan from ASVEL.
Per press release: “Valencia Basket has reached an agreement with American shooting guard Armoni Brooks (1.94m, Waco, Texas, USA, June 5, 1998) to join our men’s team for the 2026-27 season on loan from LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. After spending the last two seasons with EA7 Emporio Armani Olimpia Milan, Brooks signed with the French club this summer and will play his first season on loan with Valencia Basket.
Brooks brings EuroLeague experience after competing in Europe’s premier club competition with EA7 Emporio Armani Olimpia Milan over the past two seasons. During the 2025-26 campaign, he established himself as one of the league’s elite perimeter shooters, ranking third in the EuroLeague in three-pointers made per game with 2.7. He averaged 13.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting an outstanding 41.6% from beyond the arc.”
Brooks had drawn interest from several EuroLeague teams, with Real Madrid previously mentioned among his possible destinations, while Partizan withdrew from the race.
ASVEL was forced to significantly revise its plans after failing to finalize a major investment agreement on time. Its projected budget reportedly dropped from €59 million to approximately €24 million.
Sylvain Francisco has already left the club to join Panathinaikos, while Brooks is expected to spend the 2026-27 season with Valencia before remaining under contract with ASVEL.
