Anadolu Efes announced that forward Achille Polonara and the club have parted ways. A few minutes afterward, Zalgiris Kaunas officially acquired the Italian player and signed him to a contract for the remainder of 2022-23.
Per Zalgiris:
Zalgiris Kaunas strengthened its roster with the second newcomer in two days. The 31-old forward Achille Polonara is joining the club with a deal that will keep him in Zalgiris until the end of the season.
The 203 cm tall Italian is making a move to Kaunas from Anadolu Efes Istanbul, where another Zalgiris’ addition Isaiah Taylor also has played this season.
EuroLeague champions were using Polonara for 11 minutes per game, while he averaged 2,9 points and 2.2 rebounds.
The member of Italian national team had much better statistics just two seasons ago in Baskonia Vitoria, where he was making 12.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. The latter was the second result between all EuroLeague players.
After two years in Vitoria, Polonara signed for Fenerbahce Istanbul last season, and moved to Anadolu Efes last summer.
