VTB United League CEO Ilona Korstin said that the care Mario Hezonyi from Kazan UNICS was expected, because in the new season Russian clubs will not participate in European Cup tournaments.
On Tuesday, UNICS announced that the 27-year-old Croatian striker will continue his career with another team.
– Hezonya’s departure was predictable, he is a very high level basketball player, a very brilliant player. Hezonja is a man with big ambitions, he wants to play at the highest level, that is to say to continue playing in the Euroleague.
Since our teams will not be in the Euroleague next season, his departure is justified, despite the fact that Velimir Perasovich is really his coach, a specialist who knew how to reveal Mario’s talent in all its splendor, show all his assets and hide his weaknesses. . Hezonja will truly remain in the memory and heart of many VTB League fans, he won many with his game and professional attitude. He is a player who gave 100% in all matches.
I’m glad Mario played in the VTB United League. We celebrated him at the All-Star Game and he fully deserved MVP of the season. I wish him success in the new team. We will follow his game and hope he will come back to the VTB League one day,” Korstin told .
Hezonha played 30 games for UNICS in the United League last season, averaging 18.9 points and 7.2 rebounds. The Kazan club won the VTB League bronze medal at the end of the season.
