Liga Endesa: Bilbao Basket Secures Core with Contract Extensions for Krampelj, Petrasek, Normantas, and Hilliard Through 2028
may 23 2026Surne Bilbao Basket has sent a message of ambition for the future by securing the continuity of four fundamental pieces of their project. Martin Krampelj, Luke Petrasek, Margiris Normantas, and Darrun Hilliard have renewed their contracts through 2028, strengthening the foundation of the team led by head coach Jaume Ponsarnau.
The Bilbao-based club is betting on stability following a historic season, marked by the FIBA Europe Cup title and the fight to secure a playoff spot in Liga Endesa. The continuity of the core comes after the club had already secured renewals for Ponsarnau and Hlinason.
Hilliard has become one of the team's great offensive reference points, while Petrasek has provided outside shooting threat and tactical balance.
Normantas, for his part, has established himself as one of the most intense and competitive perimeter players, while Krampelj has quickly connected with Miribilla thanks to his energy and character.
In parallel, Bilbao Basket is already working on the next transfer market, with the departures of Pantzar to Unicaja and Bagayoko to the NCAA practically on track.
