Basketball player O’Bryant to join Uralmash after October 1

President “Uralmash » Viktor Ganienko told that the club’s rookie center Johnny O’Bryant will join the team in early October.

The agreement with the 31-year-old American basketball player is valid until the beginning of January; Ganienko did not rule out that the contract could be extended. In the team, O’Bryant is called upon to replace the injured Octavius ​​​​Ellis.

O’Bryant has already played in the VTB United League in the 2019/20 season for Krasnodar club Lokomotiv Kuban. He has also played 147 games in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets and Charlotte Hornets.

— Ellis, once recovered, should return to work only on January 3. We played with Besiktas before the season: the opponents have a player in their lineup who constantly sets up, then Ellis slipped on his leg and landed unsuccessfully – he tore his ankle ligaments. There will be an operation on October 3. He is torn and worried.

And now we need a “big one”. Balashov, unfortunately, is gone, Nelson, of course, helps… So they took Johnny for three or four months, and then we’ll see. Sergei Domanov is chasing him on October 1. Most likely, his first match for us will be a home match against UNICS on October 6,” Ganienko told .
