Farewell to Alex Avramovich, a triumphant figure in the season's conclusion
Completing His Stint, Averamovich Exits CSKA
In a stunning move, star basketball player Alex Averamovich has parted ways with PBC CSKA. The Serbian guard was a pivotal figure in the team's dominance of Russian basketball trophies last year, shining brightest in the crucial moments. His impressive run with CSKA began in 2024, following his triumph in the Paris Olympics where he earned the honor of the tournament's best defensive player.
Over the past season, Averamovich played 56 games, consistently delivering impressive statistics: 12.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per 20 minutes.
CSKA president Andrei Vatutin admired Averamovich's talent and dedication, stating, "Alex will forever remain in CSKA's history. He demonstrated not only skill but also genuine love for the club and Russia." Head coach Andreas Pistiolis echoed the sentiment, calling the Serbian guard a key player in a challenging period for the team.
Averamovich expressed his gratitude to the entire club, saying, "It was an honor to represent CSKA. I'm especially grateful to my teammates and the coaching staff for their support. I'll be cheering for the army's return to the EuroLeague!"
As for Averamovich's next venture, there seems to be some confusion. While there's no official word on his future team, it's worth mentioning that Roman Abramovich, the former owner of Chelsea FC, has stated no interest in any professional football role at the moment. However, he does express an interest in contributing to youth development or academy initiatives in the future.

Bookmakers have listed Alex Averamovich as a potential high-profile signing for NBA teams, given his exceptional performance in Russian basketball and the recent departure from CSKA. In a riveting sports drama unfolding on the global stage, basketball fans eagerly await a possible reunion of Averamovich with the NBA's marquee league, perhaps in the realm of the NBA's illustrious powerhouse, the Los Angeles Lakers or the hard-hitting, defensive-minded Atlanta Hawks, known for their strong emphasis on teamwork and basketball fundamentals, much like Averamovich's past championship-winning team, CSKA.
