No Basketball Champions League action since December 18th, but many teams were active in the market hoping to strengthen their playoffs bid. Gameday 10 is set to take place next week on Tuesday and Wednesday taking the final stretch of the regular season straight ahead for all 32 sides. Additions all around the field make upcoming affairs even more interesting.

Michael Dixon to ERA Nymburk

ERA Nymburk is exceeding expectations. Already heading towards the Round of 16, returning Michael Dixon makes Oren Amiel’s squad even more intimidating for any opposition. First things first though, which is punching the playoffs ticket for good.

John Holland to Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem

Injury woes for Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem guided John Holland to Israel and Basketball Champions League for the first time. Surely, the 31-year-old American swingman of Puerto Rican descent and his vast experience from leagues all around the world bring additional power to Oded Kattash’s squad.

Dominique Sutton to Happy Casa Brindisi

Happy Casa Brindisi is undefeated at home, hopes from now on to get things going on the road in order to progress to the playoffs. Signing Dominique Sutton to place him alongside Adrian Banks, John Brown and Tyler Stone might do the trick.

Bobby Brown and Shannon Shorter to PAOK

A couple of reinforcements for PAOK in the form of seasoned scorer Bobby Brown and Shannon Shorter. A turnaround bid in the competitive Group D is in the air and can land the Greek team in the playoffs field.

Lance Harris to Mornar Bar

At 35, Lance Harris still makes things happen all around Europe. Next stop Montenegro and Mornar Bar for the second half of his 2019-20 campaign. Previously played in 14 Champions League matches with Elan Chalon.
