Topping the list of most appearances, Juan Carlos Navarro has 341 with FC Barcelona Lassa, but he just retired. The second in games played, Felipe Reyes (325), has been with Real Madrid a long time, but he started his EuroLeague career with Estudiantes in 2000.
So, who are the 10 players who are active this season and own the most appearances in the EuroLeague with only one team?
Eurohoops presents:
#10 GUSTAVO AYON – 111 games
Ranked 168th in total appearances
The Mexican center first found himself in Madrid in 2014 at the age of 29 and that’s where he’s been ever since. In their first four seasons together, they’ve celebrated the EuroLeague title twice, in 2015 and last season. His dynamic game close to the basket makes him important to the Spanish team, for whom he averages 9.6 points and 5.8 rebounds over his four-plus seasons there. In his most productive season, that of 2015-16, he had 11.6 points and 7.9 rebounds.
#9 EDGARAS ULANOVAS – 116 games
Ranked 155th in total appearances
The Lithuanian forward hasn’t played in a team outside of his home country or in any team other than Zalgiris Kaunas since 2014. His role constantly gets upgraded and last season he had one of the most crucial ones on the team’s way to the Final Four. It was also his most productive season today, with 10.9 points per game, while he also got close to his career high in rebounds (4.1 versus 4.5 in 2016). This is his fifth season with the team from Kaunas.
