What happened?
Surne Bilbao Basket has chosen the Basketball Champions League for the next season. The Bilbao team signs Nate Darling, a Canadian scoring guard who arrives from the French Chalot.
Why is it important for Surne Bilbao Basket?
The Basketball Champions League is a competition that can be more profitable economically and has grown much more than the Eurocup. The Eurocup competition format requires playing a first phase of 14 matches, while the BCL groups 32 teams into groups of 4, with the first phase playing a six-match league.
What comes next?
Surne Bilbao Basket is facing the final stretch of planning its squad for the next season after confirming signings such as Adam Somogyi and Dan Duscak, in addition to having the signing of Nate Darling well advanced. The Canadian guard is called to reinforce the Bilbao perimeter thanks to his scoring ability and reliability from the three-point line.

The Miribilla club has almost closed its squad and only needs to incorporate two centers to complete the project for the 2026-27 season.
