Anadolu Efes Basketball Team parted ways with French player Vincent Poirier.
In the statement made by the dark blue-white club, it was stated that they parted ways with the 32-year-old center, who was included in the squad at the beginning of the 2024-2025 season.
Poirier injured his Achilles tendon in the first match played against Fenerbahçe Beko in the Basketball Super League play-off semi-final series. It was announced that the experienced basketball player, who had an operation in his country, would be away from the fields for 8-9 months.
The French basketball player had surgery due to his knee injury suffered during the national team camp in August 2025.
Vincent Poirier averaged 8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 14 matches in the Europa League last season. Poirier performed with 10.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 12 matches in the Basketball Super League.
The 32-year-old center became the fifth player to part ways with Anadolu Efes, which was disappointing last season. The dark blue-whites parted ways with Saben Lee, Nick Weiler-Babb, Rolands Smits and Cole Swider.
Adding former player Dario Saric to its squad, Anadolu Efes also signed a new 1+1-year contract with Jordan Loyd.
