Veteran center Alex Len, who signed a two-year deal with Baskonia earlier this month, has mutually agreed to terminate his contract with the Spanish club, per a press release.

Baskonia’s announcement, translated from Spanish, indicates that Len passed a medical exam upon joining the team but began to experience discomfort in his previously injured foot. There’s no indication that the big man, who underwent additional tests and consulted with medical experts in recent days, suffered a new injury, but Len and Baskonia agreed to part ways as he gets that discomfort treated.

“I would like to thank Baskonia, the staff, the players, and the fans for their professionalism and support during the brief time I spent with the organization,” Len said in a statement. “I wish them the best of luck this season.”

Len, 33, spent 12 years in the NBA from 2013-25, making 690 regular season appearances for six teams during that time. However, he played a very limited role during his last few seasons in the league and was waived last fall by the Knicks after receiving a training camp invitation. He spent the 2025/26 season with Real Madrid, coming off the bench for the club.

We have a few more odds and ends from around the basketball world:

• Three-time NBA dunk contest winner Mac McClung signed this summer with Girona Basket, a Spanish team that competes in Europe Cup rather than in the EuroLeague. However, McClung told Andreu Coll of Diari de Girona (Twitter video link) that he had no shortage of opportunities to play in what’s considered the top non-NBA league in the world. “Over the last two years, I’ve probably had over 10 EuroLeague offers,” McClung said. “(But) me and my agent agreed to follow our hearts. When I talked to (Girona head coach) Moncho (Fernandez), and the GM, and (team owner) Marc (Gasol) all in the same day, I was like, ‘I think this spot feels like home.’”
• Having already criticized the Suns’ trade for Miles Bridges, the Bucks’ four-year, $64MM deal with Gary Trent Jr., and the Wizards’ four-year, $212MM agreement with Trae Young back in July, John Hollinger of The Athletic looks elsewhere to identify five additional questionable moves made by teams over the course of the 2026 offseason. Among the decisions receiving Hollinger’s scrutiny are the Cavaliers’ long-term, maximum-salary extension for Donovan Mitchell, the Nets’ underwhelming use of their cap room, and the Clippers choosing to sign Bradley Beal over Bennedict Mathurin.
• Athletes First, one of the most prominent agencies representing NFL players, is launching a representation division for basketball players, the firm announced via social media this week (Twitter links). NFL agent David Mulugheta will lead the division, which will feature John Noonan, the former senior director of basketball at Octagon. Noonan, whom Jake Fischer describes (via Twitter) as “cap-minded,” will serve as the VP of Basketball at Athletes First.
