Dubai Basketball has secured a significant addition to their roster with the signing of American guard Rejean Ellis. The 24-year-old, known for his explosive playing style and scoring prowess, will join the team for the remainder of the 2025/26 season, with his contract extending through 2027. Ellis, who began the season with ALBA Berlin in Germany, has a strong background in collegiate basketball at Memphis and USC, as well as experience in the NBA G League, where he established himself as a reliable scorer and versatile backcourt player.
Ellis’s ability to create his own shot and consistently deliver double-digit scores in international competitions has made him a valuable asset. General Manager Dejan Kamenjašević expressed enthusiasm about the signing, stating, ‘Boogie fits perfectly with our vision—young, hungry, competitive, and already tested at a high level. He brings immediate impact, creativity, and pace to our backcourt, especially during challenging moments when injuries sideline key players.’
Kamenjašević also highlighted Ellis’s potential to grow and elevate the team’s identity in European basketball. Ellis himself is eager to contribute, saying, ‘Dubai is building something exciting on a global stage, and I want to be part of that journey. I’m ready to give everything for this team and connect with the fans from day one.’
Dubai Basketball is set to face Partizan Belgrade in the ABA League on November 3 at the Coca-Cola Arena, following a successful EuroLeague debut. This match will be a crucial test for the team as they continue to establish themselves on the international basketball scene.
