Turkcell Basketbol Gelişim Merkezi Host-Up
Galatasaray MCT Technic visits Beşiktaş at the Turkcell Basketbol Gelişim Merkezi on Sunday, October 18, for a Türkiye Sigorta Basketbol Süper Ligi Round 4 fixture scheduled to tip off at 20:30 local time. Officials Yener Yılmaz, Alper Altuğ Köselerli, and Kerem Yılmaz will manage the floor as Galatasaray seeks to rebound from a slow start under new leadership.
Manuchar Markoishvili Takes the Reins
Galatasaray MCT Technic named Manuchar Markoishvili as head coach ahead of the cross-town fixture. The Georgian basketball figure previously won league titles in a Galatasaray uniform during his playing career and brings extensive experience from top European competitions as both a player and a coach. He steps into his first game in charge following a coaching change prompted by early-season struggles.
KJ Simpsons Strengthens the Backcourt
The club bolstered its guard rotation by adding KJ Simpsons to the active roster. The backcourt addition arrives as Galatasaray attempts to fix offensive inefficiencies that yielded just one victory across their opening three league fixtures. The team dropped a 93-88 decision to Bursaspor Basketbol in their previous outing, leaving them eager to find traction against Beşiktaş.
