Baskonia has officially signed Rolands Smits through the end of the 2026-27 season, adding the Latvian big man to Velimir Perasovic’s frontcourt.

The 2.07-meter, 31-year-old forward brings extensive experience in both Liga Endesa and EuroLeague. Smits began his professional career in Spain with Fuenlabrada, making his ACB debut in 2014-15. He moved to Barcelona in 2018-19 and later continued his EuroLeague career with Zalgiris Kaunas and Anadolu Efes.

During the 2025-26 season with Efes, Smits averaged 6.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in EuroLeague. Baskonia therefore adds an experienced, physical and versatile player to Perasovic’s rotation.
