Overview

Anadolu Efes has seen varying results across different competitions in October 2026. In the Türkiye Sigorta Basketbol Süper Ligi, the team secured an 85-79 road victory against Pizzabulls Bordo Bandırma, maintaining an undefeated record in the league.

In EuroLeague competition, the team achieved an 85-70 away win against Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 6, ending a three-game losing streak and bringing their record to 2-4. The victory was built on “aggressive defensive play that forced turnovers from Zalgiris early in the match.” Matthew Strazel led the scoring with 19 points and four assists, while Cameron Payne added 16 and Collin Malcolm contributed 15. Dario Saric recorded a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Following the match, Saric praised Zalgiris center Jonas Valanciunas, describing him as “probably the best big in the EuroLeague,” despite Valanciunas being held to only five points. Saric noted that the team’s defensive effort was key to neutralizing Valanciunas and managing the physical challenges presented by the Lithuanian side.
