Crvena Zvezda basketball team season buildup
Entities: ABA League · KK Crvena zvezda · Superbet · Vojin Medarević · Spartak Subotica
Overview
In late July 2026, Serbian club Crvena Zvezda completed its summer roster overhaul under sports director Miloš Teodosić, retaining key veterans while adding experienced players such as guard Kris Johnson, shooter David Kramer, forward Jonathan Motli, and wing Patrick Boldvin Junior. The team kept its core leaders Ognjen Dobrić, Nikola Kalinić and Dejan Davidovac, promoted young talent Nikola Đurišić, and appointed Spaniard Ibon Navarro as the new head coach to implement modern European tactics.
A few days later the club announced the three‑year signing of forward/center Vojin Medarević, further strengthening the squad ahead of the 2026/27 EuroLeague campaign. Crvena Zvezda also secured a general sponsorship deal with betting firm Superbet, covering all sections of the Red Star sports society. The EuroLeague schedule was released, confirming the team’s opening game on 24 September against Žalgiris and highlighting forthcoming match‑ups with top clubs such as Real Madrid, Anadolu Efes and Olympiacos. The announcement noted that no additional summer signings were planned, confirming the roster assembled in the previous week as the lineup for the upcoming European season.
