Omari Moore will stay with Valencia Basket for another season

Valencia Basket has reached an agreement with American point guard/shooting guard Omari Moore (1.98 m, Pasadena, California, 09/18/2000, 25 years old), who also holds a North Macedonian passport, to extend his contract with the club for one more season. He will therefore remain part of our men’s team squad for the 2026–27 season.

This perimeter player, who developed at San Jose State University, joined in the summer of 2025 from Darüşşafaka Basketbol Istanbul. In his first experience combining the EuroLeague with the Liga Endesa, he has so far played 57 games, averaging 9.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for a performance rating of 9.9. He was also a key piece in winning the Supercopa Endesa, with which our team began the season.

A rookie making an impact in the EuroLeague

With prior professional experience of 46 games in Canada and Turkey before arriving at Valencia Basket, Omari Moore faced the challenge not only of making his debut in European competitions, but of doing so in the continent’s top competition. In his EuroLeague debut season, he is currently averaging 9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for a performance rating of 9.4 in just under 19 minutes of playing time. He improves on those numbers in the Liga Endesa, where he is the team’s fifth-highest rated player, averaging 8.9 points with 36% shooting from three-point range, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists for 10 rating points per game.
