Kamenjas strengthens Baskonia with Balkan experience

Kosner Baskonia has finalized the signing of Kenan Kamenjas, a Bosnian forward who arrives from Dubai Basketball to strengthen the azulgrana roster for the remainder of the season. The signing responds to the Vitoria team’s search for European experience and defensive solidity in its rotations.

Path in European Basketball

Born on January 17, 2000, in Sarajevo, Kamenjas began his professional career at Spars Sarajevo, the club where he was trained and made his debut in 2017 in the Bosnian league. His first notable stage came with the conquest of the Bosnia Cup in 2020, a title that marked the beginning of his consolidation as an international-level player.

In 2022, he took a decisive step by signing with Buducnost VOLI, the Montenegrin institution where he spent three full seasons between 2022 and 2025. During his time at the Podgorica club, Kamenjas regularly competed in the Adriatic League, the most demanding regional competition in the Balkans, and also played matches in the EuroCup, the second continental European competition. With Buducnost, he accumulated three Montenegrin league titles and won the Montenegrin Cup in 2025, further establishing his profile as a winner.

Debut in EuroLeague and Current Situation

The leap to the EuroLeague, the highest continental competition, came in the 2025-26 season with Dubai Basketball. The Emirati club allowed him to debut in the European elite while maintaining participation in the Adriatic League, two scenarios that have forged his competitive experience. During the current 2026-27 season, Kamenjas has averaged 5.8 points and 3.6 rebounds in Liga ABA, showing consistency in his defensive contributions and in team play.

Physical Profile and Role in Baskonia

The addition of Kamenjas aligns with the physical player profile that Kosner Baskonia seeks. His athletic build, combined with his experience in high-level competitions, makes him a versatile option for the Basque team’s rotations. The Bosnian player provides defensive solidity, the ability to play in tight spaces, and a winning mentality after his successes in the Balkans.

His arrival in Vitoria-Gasteiz until the end of the season expands the team's options in the rotation of wings and forwards, allowing the coaching staff to have an effective player who is well-acquainted with the dynamics of European competitions and is accustomed to the demanding pace of play in the Adriatic League and continental cups.

Integration into the Azulgrana Project

Kamenjas joins a roster that aims to consolidate itself in domestic competition while facing its commitments in European cups. His experience in the EuroLeague, although recent, provides him with valuable insight into the level required in the highest competitions. The Bosnian player arrives with the mission to contribute quality minutes, rigorous defense, and to support the team play that characterizes Kosner Baskonia.

The contract until the end of the season allows the club a complete evaluation of the Bosnian international’s performance in his new context, with the possibility of extending the relationship if both parties find it convenient. Kamenjas thus joins a project that seeks to compete on multiple fronts in the coming months.
