Transfer coup
Austro basketball player joins former Eurocup winners
The Vorarlberg basketball pro Luka Brajkovic is leaving the Italian Serie A club Pistoia Basket 2000 after just eight match days and is moving to Turkey after the international break.
The 25-year-old's new employer will be Darüssafaka Istanbul, a traditional club on the Bosporus. The basketball section has existed since 1951 and the club is a two-time Turkish champion (1961, 1962) and Eurocup winner in 2018. However, things are not going well at all in the current season. They have one win and six defeats. Most recently, they have lost five games in a row.
The acid test awaits
Now "Big Luka" is expected to help at both ends of the pitch. The 25-year-old, who was never really happy in Italy, is looking forward to the new task, knowing full well that it will not be an easy one. If Brajkovic makes his debut on matchday eight in the Basketbol Super Ligi (BSL), which is to be expected, a very important game is coming up. Darüssafaka will host Merkezefendi Denizli's team, who are level on points.
Spain, Greece, Italy and now Turkey
The Bosporus club will be the Feldkircher's fourth professional stop after Rio Breogan (Spain), Kolossos Rhodes (Greece) and Pistoia. The Ländle export averaged 8.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 19.5 minutes per game for the Italians.
