Aris Thessaloniki basketball developments

Overview

Greek club Aris Thessaloniki announced two major moves in August 2026. First, it signed a commercial agreement with Puma SE, making the sportswear brand the official supplier of the team’s apparel and footwear. The deal places Aris as the first Greek basketball club and the third in Europe to join Puma’s elite network of partner clubs, following Lithuania’s Žalgiris Kaunas and Spain’s Baskonia.

A few days later, Aris completed a player acquisition, securing French forward Adam Mokoka on a two‑year contract. Mokoka, the EuroCup MVP from the previous season, brings experience from multiple leagues, including stints in France, the NBA G‑League, and Italy. The signing adds to a roster overhaul that already saw eleven new players added under coach Vasilis Spanoulis, aiming to strengthen the squad for domestic and European competition.

Together, the partnership with Puma and the high‑profile player signing illustrate Aris’s strategy to raise both its commercial profile and on‑court competitiveness.
