Not being able to return to the court immediately, Achille Polonara has still found a new home to express his capabilities on the court, rejoining Dinamo Sassari six years later.
The Italian side has announced that “once conditions allow, an agreement has been reached for the return of Achille Polonara” to the white-and-blue side.
Being diagnosed with myeloid leukemia back in June, the Italian forward is currently fighting against such a disease, with his comeback to the court still undated.
As the team announced, “the agreement once again seals the deep bond between Achille and Dinamo: a relationship built on mutual respect and trust that has paved the way for his return to Sardinia.”
“The club firmly believes in the athlete’s recovery journey and in his technical and human contribution, confident that Polonara still possesses the qualities that made him one of the most highly regarded Italian players internationally,” the statement continued.
Achille Polonara will return to Sassari, where he played from 2017 to 2019 before moving up to the EuroLeague with the jerseys of Baskonia, Fenerbahce, Efes, Zalgiris Kaunas, and finally Virtus Bologna.
“I am extremely happy and honored to be able to return home. I would like to thank President Stefano Sardara, CEO Francesco Sardara, general manager Jack Devecchi, and coach Massimo Bulleri for giving me this opportunity at such a delicate moment in my personal life,” Polonara said.
