Loonie Walker, who previously played for Maccabi Tel Aviv, is reportedly seeking a return to the EuroLeague after being released by the Denver Nuggets before the NBA season began. Spanish media outlets, including AS, have suggested that Walker could join either Real Madrid or Baskonia. Real Madrid has been linked to Walker on two previous occasions, in 2024 and 2026, but these potential moves did not materialize. AS noted that Real Madrid's roster spot that Walker might fill is currently occupied by Nick Smith, though an injury to Gabriel Deck could open up an opportunity. Baskonia is also looking for a player to replace Markus Howard. According to Eurohoops, Besiktas is a leading candidate to sign Walker, with two other clubs also showing interest, possibly including Real Madrid and Baskonia, though no official contact has been reported from their side. The 27-year-old Walker has hired influential European basketball agent Mishko Raznatovic to help him find a new team quickly. Walker left Maccabi Tel Aviv after activating an exit clause in his contract and then signed a non-guaranteed one-year deal with the Denver Nuggets worth $3.3 million, but was waived during preseason. In his limited NBA appearances, he recorded four points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal over 17 minutes across two games.
