Nenad Dimitrijevic top scorer in Aris debut — 20 points in 97–80 win

Nenad Dimitrijevic announced his arrival for Aris with a strong performance in a friendly match against Vikos Falcons, finishing as the team’s top scorer with 20 points in a 97–80 victory.

The Macedonian guard showed he can shoulder a leading role for Aris even in a match when coach Andrea Trinchieri had to rotate without several regulars. Dimitrijevic provided scoring and leadership that stood out throughout the game.

Club schedule and next tests

Aris travel to a tough tournament in Nicosia next week, where Dimitrijevic and his new teammates will face stronger opposition as the club sharpens its roster ahead of the season. The final warm-up before the championship opener will be a tournament in Thessaloniki from September 20–22, 2026, in which TFT will also participate.

The friendly in which Aris defeated Vikos Falcons 97–80 served as an early indicator of how the team might look offensively once its full squad is available. Dimitrijevic’s 20-point output made him the game’s most efficient scorer for Aris.

Last week, Dimitrijevic recorded a historic triple-double in North Macedonia’s road victory over Austria, a result that underlined his rising influence both for club and country.

Aris will continue its preparations over the coming days, balancing training with the match calendar as the team integrates new pieces and builds chemistry before the season begins.
