Center Ivan Lazarev (24 years old, 2.10 m.) is signed by CSKA Moscow until the end of the season in a last minute move that was concluded in record time.
Lazarev started last season in St.Petersburg with 7 Eurocup appearances (4.4 points, 2.7 rebounds in 9.3 minutes) and 9 games in VTB League (2.8 points, 1.8 rebounds in 8.5 minutes). The player moved to Ryazan in February but got injured and could not play the leading roles. Ivan played in 11 Superleague games (4.9 points, 2.5 rebounds in 9.3 minutes). The center started his preseason preparations with Dynamo Moscow but was released due to the club’s financial problems. He was tried out by CSKA coaching staff during past week.
The contract with Lazarev was signed right after Wednesday’s morning practice, all necessary documents are sent to Euroleague and VTB League. Ivan went to Tbilisi with the team and he is available for tomorrow’s game vs Vita.
