Four active basketball players CSKA — Ivan Ukhov, Samson Ruzhentsev, Anton Astapkovich and Philip Gafurov — recorded a video message to their partner after a basketball game in Norilsk Alexei Shved who was the victim of an attack in the center of Moscow at the beginning of May.
On Saturday in Norilsk, the local Ayka sports complex hosted a unique basketball game timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of basketball club CSKA. The participants divided into two teams – “Nickel” and “Palladium”, the meeting brought together four current CSKA players – Ukhov, Ruzhentsev, Astapkovich and Gafurov.
With 1.7 seconds left, with the score at 109:109, Astapkovich could have made a winning shot, but his long-range attempt didn’t hit the target. As a result, the match ended in a draw. The arrival of CSKA basketball players caused a great stir in Norilsk, which was accompanied by the distribution of autographs. The athletes videotaped a call to partner Alexei Shved,
– Lech, come! We are waiting for you! Heal, heal. We love you, hug you and kiss you. We really believe you will be back upstairs soon. Come on, Lech, hold on! CSKA basketball players said.
In two or three weeks, the Shved must undergo a second examination. Now, the continuation of the CSKA defender’s career is in question.
