“After the match against Astana, we will have a small restructuring in the team” – President of Uralmash Ganienko

President “Uralmash” Viktor Ganienko told that signing a contract with Vladimir Ivlev will help the Yekaterinburg team to significantly strengthen the position of the center, and also announced a small restructuring of its team in early November.

Uralmash announced on Monday the signing of a contract with 34-year-old center Ivlev. In the 2023/24 season, the basketball player played for Samara and Paris NN. The contract with Ivlev is for one year.

Uralmash is in sixth place in the VTB United League standings. On October 31, the Yekaterinburg team will play away against UNICS, and on November 4 they will host Astana at home.

— We are having some difficulties with the center this season, which is why we called on Volodya Ivlev to solve this problem. Johnny O’Bryant is always more number four than number five. So we need to strengthen the center, even if Ellis leaves after a while. And Johnny will be in the power forward position. There will be two centers – Ellis and Volodya. And two good fourth numbers – Nelson and O’Bryant.

And also, at the beginning of November, after the match against Astana, there will be a small restructuring of the team. And the demands on players will already increase. We will have four home matches: they are largely decisive for us. We want to get back into the top five or at least secure a place in the top six. In general, our task is to take a place in the top 6 at the end of the regular season,” Ganienko told .
