Kyle Wiltjer is staying with Reyer Venezia. The club announced the contract extension of the Canadian big man, who will play his fourth consecutive season in Venice.

Wiltjer, listed at 207 cm, has become both a technical leader and a fan favorite at the Taliercio. Across three seasons with Reyer, he has already played 170 official games, scoring 1,335 points in Italian competitions and 658 in EuroCup.

In the 2025-26 season, he confirmed his offensive impact by averaging 13.8 points in Serie A, shooting 41.7% from three and posting a 13.8 PIR. “I would like to retire here, at Reyer,” Wiltjer said, adding that his goal is to bring the Italian title back to Venice.
