Overview
- Virtus Segafredo Bologna posted the signing on Tuesday, July 28, confirming Wendell Moore Jr. will join the club for the 2026–27 season.
- The announcement supersedes recent reports that Moore was weighing offers from Partizan Belgrade, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Italy’s BC Roma SPQR.
- Moore is a 2022 first-round pick who spent four years in the NBA and played most of 2025–26 on a two-way deal with Detroit while averaging roughly 19.6 points per game in the G League.
- Earlier coverage said BC Roma SPQR’s high-profile owners and promises of EuroCup and potential entry to the planned NBA European league helped court Moore, but those reports remain superseded by Bologna’s confirmed deal.
- The move gives Moore a clearer, likely larger role on a stable European roster and signals a common path for young NBA players seeking steady minutes, pay and continental exposure.
