Aris secures victory against Burgos in EuroCup home debut

On October 7, 2026, Aris Thessaloniki achieved a dominant 93-80 victory against Spanish side Burgos in their first EuroCup home game of the season at the Nick Galis Hall. This win marks the team's second consecutive victory in the competition, following their successful season opener against Le Mans. Aris demonstrated strong form early on, finishing the first quarter with a 28-14 lead and entering halftime with a significant advantage at 53-30. Nenad Dimitrijevic led the performance for coach Vassilis Spanoulis with 21 points and 6 assists, supported by Jeremiah Robinson-Earl who contributed 11 points.

The performance serves as a rebound for the squad after their disappointing 74-68 defeat to Karditsa in the Stoiximan GBL opener, an event that had prompted sharp criticism from Spanoulis. Despite missing player Stefan Jovic due to injury, the team successfully utilized the home atmosphere to regain momentum. This victory confirms Aris's strong start to their European campaign as they look to move past recent domestic inconsistencies.
