"Chelbasket" Basketball Team Secures Third Place in Super League
Let's Talk Hoops: Chelyabasket Brings in All-Star Shooting Guard, Gleb Suvorov!
Get ready, hoops fans! The ranks of "Chelyabasket" have got a fresh surge with the addition of none other than Gleb Suvorov, a lights-out shooting guard from the mighty "Khimki". Last season, he played a pivotal role in securing bronze medals for his old team in the Super League, as per news from the club's press service.
Gleb Suvorov rolled out his basketball journey with the "Khimki" family, where he spent the glory years of his career. He put on a show alongside the Moscow team, bagging bronze medals in the Super League twice: in 2023 and 2025. Apart from his stint with "Khimki", he spent one season gracing the courts of "Universitet-Yugra" from Surgut.
Last season, Gleb put on a solid performance in 41 Super League games for "Khimki", with one start under his belt. He averaged 6.5 points in 16.5 minutes on the court. Keep in mind that he was part of the Russian national team at the under-18 European Championship, an impressive feat in his young career.
According to Sergei Domanov, the sports director of B.K. "Chelyabasket", players who bring intensity and passion to the game are always a boon for any team. Gleb Suvorov fits the bill, given his infectious energy and the two Super League bronze medals he's already accumulated. He's ready to step up as a leader, Domanov adds.
So, who is this new superstar? Gleb Suvorov is 27 years young and stands tall at 190 cm. His preferred position is shooting guard, but he's flexible enough to slip into the point guard slot when needed. With Serbian coach Goran Vučković set to helm "Chelyabasket" during the 2025/2026 season, the timing for Gleb's arrival couldn't be better. Vučković is known for his work with Zoran Lukič in the Russian national team coaching staff and the VTB United League club "Pari-NN".
Now, you might be wondering about Gleb's stats and accomplishments throughout his Super League journey. I've dug deep to find relevant data, but unfortunately, specific stats weren't readily available from the search results. If you have more context about the competitive landscape or Gleb's individual performance, I'd be happy to share additional insights!
Gleb Suvorov, the new addition to Chelyabasket, hails from the NBA-style play of the Kimki, showcasing his skills as a basketball player. Having secured bronze medals for Kimki in the Super League in both 2023 and 2025, Suvorov's arrival at Chelyabasket promises to elevate the team's sports performance.
