American basketball players Brendan Adams, Ronnie Harrell and Nasir Brooks have leftSamara “, reported the club’s press service.

The player agreements were terminated by mutual consent of the parties. Samara director Kamo Poghosyan said the Americans left the team “due to the economic situation.” Earlier, the governor of the Samara region, Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, said that a number of sponsors, for various reasons, decided to stop supporting Samara, but promised to resolve the club’s financial problems.

— The functioning of any basketball club depends on many factors, often not directly related to the sport. Including economic. Unfortunately, given the evolving economic situation, we are parting ways with three American players. In addition, I would especially like to emphasize that we part as true good friends, without any misunderstanding or complaints against each other.

On the other hand, the departure of foreign players constitutes an excellent opportunity for the students and young people of our club to prove themselves. We will continue to count on Russian players and, first of all, on those from Samara to make up the team. We also count on Mikhail Kulagin, who due to personal circumstances cannot help the team on the field. We are in constant contact with Mikhail and await his return,” Pogosyan noted.

Adams, Harrell and Brooks moved to Samara before the start of this season. Adams appeared in 16 VTB United League games, averaging 14.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4 assists. Harrell played in 14 games, averaging 12.1 points, 5 rebounds and 2.9 assists. Nasir Brooks played 13 games.
