Dubai Basketball has confirmed the signing of American small forward Justin Anderson, in what marks the club’s seventh major acquisition ahead of its much-anticipated EuroLeague debut.
The deal will be finalised pending a routine medical check.
The 31-year-old, who stands at 1.98 metres, arrives from Spanish powerhouse FC Barcelona, where he played a key role in their 2024/25 EuroLeague campaign.
