Over the past two days, more than a half-dozen 7DAYS EuroCup sides have opened their respective training camps. These clubs are going full steam ahead with their preparations for the coming season.

The teams that held their first basketball practice of the season on Wednesday were Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse and ratiopharm Ulm. While Bourg returns to the competition after making its debut last season, Ulm got the engines started for its seventh consecutive EuroCup season.

A pair of Turkish sides, Frutti Extra Bursaspor and Turk Telekom Ankara, are also a full go with basketball practices. Umana Reyer Venice has its full team together – minus Italian national team members Stefano Tonut and Michele Vitali – and gathered at Palasport Taliercio for athletic workouts, while Promitheas Patras also held its first team workout in a gym on Wednesday.

Over the past two days, more than a half-dozen 7DAYS EuroCup sides have opened their respective training camps. These clubs are going full steam ahead with their preparations for the coming season.

EuroCup teams' training camps a full go



After a fantastic 7DAYS EuroCup debut two years ago, Promitheas Patras embarks on a third straight season in the competition as it solidifies itself as a force in Greek basketball. ASP Promitheas was founded in 1985 in Patras, with the club name coming from the titan in Greek mythology, Prometheus, and it started competing in the lowest division of Greek regional basketball a year later.

Its rise to prominence began when the club started to focus more on its organization in the fall of 2006. In each of the next three seasons, Promitheas earned a promotion to a higher level. Guided by Coach Giannis Kotsonis, the team reached the top regional division for the first time in 2009 and competed there for four seasons. With Coach Kostas Douvas at the helm, Promitheas reached the playoff finals in the 2012-13 campaign and earned promotion to the national fourth division. That proved to be only one stop on this journey to prominence.

With Makis Giatras taking over on the bench the following season, the team used a 21-3 record to win its group and earn another promotion. A 24-2 record a year later got Promitheas to Greek’s second division. In 2015-16, Promitheas finished fourth in the second division regular season and came up just short of earning promotion after losing to Faros Keratsini. However, when Keratsini decided not to use its right to advance, Promitheas was next in line to move up and history was made; Promitheas joined the Greek elite.

After earning seven promotions to move up eight ranks in only 10 seasons, Promitheas fared well in its first season in Greek’s top flight with a 10-16 record - one win shy of a playoff spot. In the 2017-18 season, Coach Giatras returned to the bench after a year away and with Mouhammad Faye, Milan Milosevic and Nikos Gikas leading the way, Promitheas finished third in the regular season behind only Greek giants Panathinaikos Athens and Olympiacos Piraeus. After getting past Lavrio in the quarterfinals for its first-ever playoff win, Promitheas was swept by Olympiacos in the semis and lost to PAOK Thessaloniki in the third-place series. However, the strong foundation was already in place, allowing Promitheas to keep making history.

The club didn’t disappoint in 2019-20 as it made its EuroCup debut and reached the quarterfinals with home-court advantage against Tofas Bursa before the rest of the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Domestically, Promitheas advanced to the Greek Cup final for the first time and ranked fourth in the Greek League when the season was prematurely ended. Last season, it won the Greek SuperCup, was the Greek Cup runner-up and again reached the Greek semifinals. The stage is set for another big season for Promitheas.

Partizan NIS Belgrade has signed promising point guard Yam Madar to a three-year contract, the club announced Wednesday.



Former EuroCup champion and perennial contender Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar enters its seventh straight season in the competition and - like every season - has ambitions to go all the way. Originally known as Lokomotiv Mineralnye Vody, the team from the North Caucasus region has produced several strong youth talents over the years since inception in 1946, but did not make its European debut until the 1998-99 Korac Cup.

Lokomotiv picked up its first major title, the Russian Cup, in 2000. After back-to-back third-place Russian League finishes, Lokomotiv shocked Europe in 2002 by reaching the Korac Cup finals, where it lost to SLUC Nancy. A year later, the club moved to the city of Rostov and reached the FIBA Europe Cup title game in 2005, but lost to CSU Asesoft Ploiesti. Lokomotiv continued to make the Russian League playoffs and advanced several stages in various European cups before moving again in 2009 when Krasnodar became its home and the club rebranded as Lokomotiv Kuban.

The team reached the Russian League semifinals for the first time in 2011 while plowing through to the FIBA EuroChallenge final, where it lost to Krka Novo Mesto. Its EuroCup debut followed and Lokomotiv made the quarterfinals and appeared at the VTB United League final four for the first time. Then came a historic 2012-13 campaign, in which EuroCup MVP Nick Calathes guided Lokomotiv to the EuroCup crown. Lokomotiv made its EuroLeague debut in the 2013-14 season and reached the Top 16, but missed out on the playoffs via point difference. The following season Lokomotiv had another strong campaign with a near-perfect EuroCup run as Derrick Brown, Anthony Randolph and Malcolm Delaney led the club to 20 consecutive wins in the competition. However, a quarterfinal loss against UNICS Kazan prevented the team from going further.

The 2015-16 season was one for the history books as Delaney and Randolph starred and took the team through FC Barcelona in the playoffs for the team's first appearance at the continent's signature club event, the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four. Loko tied its own EuroCup record with 20 straight wins to start the 2017-18 season, which put the team at the doorstep of the finals. However, in the decisive games, Darussafaka Istanbul took the upper hand and managed to sweep the series 2-0, thus depriving Loko of another EuroCup crown.

Lokomotiv has reached the quarterfinals in two of the past three seasons and both times lost to Russian rival UNICS Kazan in the maximum three games. With Coach Evgeny Pashutin, who manned the sidelines on Lokomotiv's 2013 EuroCup-championship squad, leading the way, this team enters the new season with its sights set high.
