The Aris basketball team is dealing with an unexpected injury to Domagoj Proleta, creating a challenge for their tall players. To address this, the team has brought in Antonio Vrankovic, son of the legendary Aris player Stojan Vrankovic.

Vrankovic, a 28-year-old center standing at 2.13 meters, was born in the United States in 1998. He played college basketball for Duke University from 2015 to 2019, working with coach Mike Krzyzewski, though he was not a primary player during his tenure.

After his college career, Vrankovic returned to Europe, building a significant career. He played for Split, Cibona, and Cedevita Junior in Croatia, then moved to Pardubice in the Czech Republic. He also played in France for Saint-Chamond and Alsace.

For the 2025-26 season, Vrankovic returned to Cedevita Junior, competing in both domestic leagues and the FIBA Europe Cup. His addition aims to stabilize the team's frontcourt following Proleta's injury.
