According to outlets such as Gigantes del Basket and Eurohoops, Real Madrid have signed Damian Jones for the 2026-27 season. The move places the two-time NBA champion center among the first additions to Pedro Martínez’s project in his debut season on the Madrid bench.
At 30, Jones is set for his first European experience after an NBA career that includes two championship rings. His profile addresses Madrid’s need for more interior depth in a campaign that combines EuroLeague and Liga Endesa with a roster still being reshaped.
The move, reported by specialized market outlets, arrives as the Spanish side continue shaping their 2026-27 roster. Gigantes del Basket has listed Jones among the pieces in the new squad structure, while Eurohoops has confirmed the deal runs through the end of the 2026-27 season.
For Real Madrid, Jones brings size, high-level experience and a winning background that can help in rotation-heavy stretches. His arrival also adds paint depth at a time when the club is trying to balance continuity and renewal under a new coaching staff.
If he is integrated immediately into the team’s rotation, the American will need to adjust to the European pace and to the role Martínez envisions in a roster that is still taking shape during preseason.
