Trabzonspor Basketbol is closing in on an agreement to sign American Brandon Boston Jr., according to reports. The 24-year-old is poised to join the Turkish club’s offensive rotation following a brief stint in NBA training camp with the Chicago Bulls ahead of the 2026-2027 season.
Before turning his sights toward the Turkish Super League, Boston drew strong interest from multiple EuroLeague organizations ahead of the 2026-2027 season. He turned down those continental offers in pursuit of an NBA roster spot, spending the preseason with the Chicago Bulls before being waived prior to the regular-season tip-off. With his NBA opportunities momentarily paused, Boston pivoted back toward Europe, where Trabzonspor emerged as the frontrunner for his signature.
Trabzonspor has assembled an ambitious roster for both the domestic Turkish Basketball Super League and the FIBA Basketball Champions League. The club already boasts significant high-level experience with Isaiah Canaan, Shaquille Harrison, and Brady Manek on its books. Bringing in Boston is expected to instantly elevate the team’s offensive firepower, though the club may part ways with one of its current foreign players to finalize the registration.
Boston brings four years of NBA experience to the club, having logged regular minutes across stints with the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans. Averaging 16 minutes per game in the NBA, he holds averages of 7.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. His most productive individual campaign came during the 2024-2025 season with New Orleans, where he posted career highs of 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per contest.
Turkish basketball fans are already familiar with Boston’s scoring skillset from his recent stint in the EuroLeague. Last season, Boston suited up for Fenerbahçe, averaging 4.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in roughly 12 minutes per night. His highlights included standout scoring displays, highlighted by a 21-point explosion against Real Madrid and a 14-point performance versus Olympiacos.
