President CSKA Andrey Vatutine commented on the departure of the American striker from the club Will Clyburn noting that the 32-year-old basketball player wanted to end his career in the military.
– Parting with Will turned out to be very emotional, literally on a “gap”. I know he really got attached to our team, to the club, to Moscow, he dreamed of ending his career here, of seeing his jersey under the arches of the arena. Here he grew up as a player, here his wonderful family felt comfortable and grew up.
Many brilliant moments in CSKA history are associated with the name of Clyburn, and we are all sincerely grateful to him for his victories, dedication, struggle and leadership qualities. I really appreciate that he played this most difficult season for all of us until the end. Unfortunately, circumstances forced us to leave, and we sincerely wish Will continued performance at the highest level, winning many team and individual trophies, health and happiness for a growing family.” , said Vatutin, whose words are quoted on the CSKA website.
Clyburn has been playing for CSKA since 2017 and won the Euroleague in the 2018/19 season as part of the army side. In total, the player played 236 games for CSKA, averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 steals.
