Baskonia negotiates with Alex Len after failure in Madrid.

Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz now has a new piece for its interior game. The Vitoria team has officially announced the signing of Alex Len, a 33-year-old Ukrainian center who arrives from Real Madrid and has signed a contract for the next two seasons.

The addition provides an experienced boost to Baskonia's roster, as Len has a track record of 12 years in the NBA before making the jump to European basketball. The 2.13-meter center played his first season in the EuroLeague last year after returning to the continent.

Len landed in Madrid as a player with significant experience in the NBA, but his participation in the European competition was quite limited. During the 2025-26 season, he played 23 EuroLeague games, averaging 3.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 9 minutes and 10 seconds per game.

Despite his reduced role, the Ukrainian had a particularly notable performance against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens. In that game, he achieved his best EuroLeague stats, with 18 points and a valuation of 27, demonstrating the potential he can offer when given minutes.

A long career in the NBA

Before becoming a player for Real Madrid, Len built nearly his entire professional career in the United States. The center was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the number 5 pick in the 2013 Draft after his college stint at Maryland.

Throughout his 12 seasons in the NBA, Len played for several franchises. In addition to the Suns, he wore the jerseys of Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards, and Los Angeles Lakers.

In total, Baskonia's new player played 690 regular-season games in the NBA, averaging 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks per game.

His arrival at Real Madrid after his time with the Lakers marked his return to European basketball more than a decade after leaving the continent. Now, after a season in the Spanish capital where he had a secondary role, Len swaps Madrid for Vitoria with the goal of taking on greater responsibility in Baskonia's interior game.
