In modern European basketball, you don’t see many players staying on the court for more than two and a half quarters. However, there are some notable exceptions of players who are too valuable for their teams and can’t get rested for long.
To be exact, a total of 43 players so far in the Basketball Champions League season have stayed on the court for 28 or more minutes per game, and 17 of them have been playing for 30 or more minutes.
Drew Crawford of Gaziantep is the only player who spends more than 35 minutes per game, followed by Howard Sant-Roos of AEK (34.7). AEK has also Keith Langford, who is included in the 30 or more minutes club, and two more teams have a duo of players who are almost always on the court. Trevis Simpson and Ishmail Wainright of RASTA Vechta, like Chris Wright and Keith Hornshy of Polski Cukier Torun, also can’t get much rest. Here’s the full list of the players who so far stay 30 or more minutes on the court of the Basketball Champions League games.
