- The 25-year-old signs two-year deal ahead of 2025-26 EuroLeague
DUBAI: Dubai Basketball have secured Bosnian centre Kenan Kamenjaš on a two-year deal, adding one of the ABA League’s most promising talents to their roster ahead of the club’s debut EuroLeague campaign.
Standing at 2.07m, the 25-year-old will step onto Europe’s biggest basketball stage for the first time as he joins Dubai Basketball in their historic effort to compete among the world’s elite.
The Bosnian center arrives from Budućnost VOLI, where he made a strong impact on the paint. He began the 2023-24 season with SC Derby before joining Budućnost, averaging 13.2 points and 8.3 rebounds across both stints.
In the 2024-25 campaign, Kamenjaš continued to impress, posting 11.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, with a Performance Index Rating of 17.8. He also stood out in the EuroCup, where he contributed 10.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Kamenjaš was also a pivotal part of the team that delivered one of Dubai Basketball’s only away-game losses in the ABA League regular season.
Having contributed to 39 games for the Montenegrin team last season, Kamenjaš is looking to bring a new wave of offensive basketball to Dubai.
Prior to his time in Podgorica, Kamenjaš rose through the ranks at Spars Sarajevo, debuting professionally in 2017 and steadily establishing himself as one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s brightest talents. A consistent figure in his national team, Kamenjaš has featured in FIBA Basketball World Cup and EuroBasket qualifiers, adding valuable international experience to his growing resumé.
Dubai Basketball enter the EuroLeague this season with the ambition of challenging the best teams in Europe, after finishing third in their inaugural ABA League campaign.
