Baskonia has signed American guard Kobi Simmons to a two-month contract, with an option to extend the deal through the end of the season, the Spanish club announced.
The 1.96-meter playmaker arrives from the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association, where he averaged 15.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.4 rebounds last season.
Simmons’ addition comes as Baskonia looks to strengthen its backcourt after a challenging start to the 2025–26 EuroLeague campaign.
The Vitoria-Gasteiz side has opened the season with five consecutive losses, prompting the front office to seek immediate reinforcements to improve offensive rhythm and consistency in playmaking.
Simmons, known for his speed and ability to create off the dribble, provides the team with an athletic and experienced guard option.
Born in Atlanta in 1997, Simmons played college basketball at the University of Arizona before entering the 2017 NBA Draft. He began his professional career with the Memphis Grizzlies, where he made his NBA debut, and later had stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, and Toronto Raptors organizations.
Throughout his career, Simmons has alternated between the NBA, the G League, and international leagues, gaining experience in multiple systems and styles of play.
His recent season in China marked one of his most productive stretches, highlighted by his scoring consistency and ability to facilitate in transition.
