Sasha Vezenkov has become Olympiacos' all-time leading scorer in the EuroLeague, passing club great Vassilis Spanoulis during a 101-72 win over Dubai Basketball on Thursday, 12 November.

The Bulgarian forward reached the milestone with his first basket of the night at SUNEL Arena in Athens, moving past Spanoulis' tally of 3,552 points. He went on to score 20 points as Olympiacos recorded a comfortable victory in Round 11 of the 2026-27 EuroLeague season.

A record eight years in the making

Vezenkov is in his eighth season with Olympiacos across two spells with the Greek club, and the record underlines how central he has become to the team. He now sits 11th on the EuroLeague's all-time scoring list, and he achieved the club milestone in front of his home supporters.

Spanoulis, who now coaches the Greek national team, is one of the most decorated players in Olympiacos history, so passing his total is a significant marker in Vezenkov's career. The 31-year-old has twice been named EuroLeague MVP, in 2023 and 2026, and helped Olympiacos win the EuroLeague title in 2026.

Fournier leads the scoring

While Vezenkov took the headlines, Evan Fournier led all scorers on the night with 28 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. The French guard finished with a performance index rating of 28, just ahead of Vezenkov on 26.

Olympiacos controlled the game from early on and never looked in danger of letting the lead slip. A behind-the-back pass from Vezenkov to Nikola Milutinov for a dunk was picked out as the play of the day, and it summed up the confidence with which the home side played.

For Dubai, Dwayne Bacon scored 20 points and Mfiondu Kabengele added 12, but the visitors could not stay with Olympiacos once the Greek side found their rhythm.

Both sides came in at 7-3

The match had been billed as one of the games of the round, with both teams arriving with identical 7-3 records after ten rounds. Olympiacos had lost their previous EuroLeague outing 62-57 at home to Crvena Zvezda, a game in which Vezenkov scored 27 points in a low-scoring defeat.

The win over Dubai lifted Olympiacos to 8-3 and kept them firmly in the group chasing the early pacesetters. Dubai dropped to 7-4 but remain in the play-off places after a strong start to their EuroLeague campaign.

What comes next

Olympiacos will look to build on the win when they return to domestic action, with Aris their next opponents on Sunday, 15 November. Dubai face Spartak Subotica the same day as they try to bounce back from the heavy defeat in Athens.

For Vezenkov, the record is another entry in a season that has already brought personal honours, and Olympiacos will hope their leading scorer can keep producing as the EuroLeague regular season moves towards its decisive middle stretch.
