Türk Telekom Ankara’s 2024-25 roster is set
Türk Telekom Ankara has finalized its 2024-25 roster for the Basketbol Süper Ligi (BSL). The team’s new signings and retained players are ready to take on the challenges of the upcoming season.
Who’s on the roster?
Porfirio Fisac remains the head coach, aiming to tighten the team’s offensive and defensive systems. His experience in Spain’s top leagues is expected to shape the squad’s identity.
Key player Ziga Samar returns after a strong prior season, where he averaged 12.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. His scoring and playmaking will be critical for Ankara’s attack.
Who’s on the coaching staff?
Fisac leads the bench, joined by assistants Iker Urreizti and Alberto Angulo. Both bring deep tactical knowledge from Spanish basketball, including stints with Liga ACB teams.
How is preseason shaping up?
Ankara’s preseason has been intense, with focus on conditioning and set-piece execution. The squad has logged multiple scrimmages against BSL rivals to test rotations and depth.
Last season ended with the team in 10th place, but Fisac’s arrival signals a shift toward faster, more structured play. Early reports suggest improved chemistry among the core group.
What’s expected in the BSL?
Ankara faces a tough BSL slate, with teams like Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe and Anadolu Efes eyeing playoff spots. Fisac’s system emphasizes ball movement and defensive pressure, which could vault the club into contention.
Samar’s development and the addition of a reliable backup point guard will determine how far Ankara can push this season. The opener is set for October 5 against a mid-table opponent, setting the tone for the campaign.
