Description

Ádám Hanga (born 12 April 1989) is a Hungarian professional basketball player for Joventut Badalona of the Spanish Liga ACB. He was drafted 59th overall by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2011 NBA draft. Hanga won the EuroLeague Best Defender award in 2017.

Hanga was born to a Hungarian mother and a Zanzibari Tanzanian father, who was studying in Hungary at that time. His father left the family when Ádám was 3 years old and he was brought up by his mother and maternal grandparents.

He is the nephew of African-Russian journalist and television personality Yelena Khanga.

Hanga began his career with the Hungarian club, Albacomp, in 2006, at the age of 17, and stayed with the Székesfehérvár-based club until 2011. In June 2009, he was invited to the Adidas Eurocamp, an event that is held annually in Treviso, for top-flight players, aged between 18 and 21. After three days of training and scrimmages, he was ranked the sixth best non-U.S. player in his age group. The 2010–11 season turned out to be his breakout year, as he dominated the Hungarian League.

In May 2011, he moved to the Spanish League, signing with Bàsquet Manresa. The San Antonio Spurs selected Hanga with the 59th pick in the 2011 NBA draft.

In July 2013, Hanga signed a four-year deal with the Spanish club Baskonia. In August 2014, he was loaned to the Italian League team Sidigas Avellino, for the 2014–15 season. Hanga came back to Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on 11 May 2015 for the final games of the 2014–15 ACB season, after finishing the Lega Basket season with Avellino. On 28 June 2017 Hanga was registered by Baskonia for the right of first refusal. On 9 July 2017 Hanga signed an offer sheet with FC Barcelona Lassa. On 12 July 2017 Baskonia matched the offer sheet to Hanga, keeping Hanga in their roster. On 23 July 2017 Hanga re-signed with Baskonia, through the 2019–20 season.

On 22 August 2017 Baskonia and FC Barcelona reached an agreement for the transfer of Hanga to the Catalan club. On 9 July 2019 Barcelona Bàsquet announced Hanga had extended his contract with the club until 2022, with an option to continue through 2023. On 16 July 2021 Hanga parted ways with the club after four seasons together.

On 23 July 2021 Hanga signed a two-year deal with Liga ACB archrivals Real Madrid. On 24 June 2023 Real Madrid informed the player that they would not pick up his contract option and he would become a free agent.

On 12 July 2023 Hanga signed a two-year contract with Crvena zvezda.

On July 4, 2024, he signed with Joventut Badalona of the Spanish Liga ACB.
