After a great season in Avtodor Saratov in VTB league averaging 15 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks Kyrylo Fesenko signed a one year contract with Lokomotiv Kuban for next season.
It’s the first summer move of Lokomotiv in which many changes are expected in the roster, specially in the front line and the former NBA-er is a worthy addition. Also Nizhny Novgorod announced the contract extension of forward Vladimir Ivlev for two more seasons, until summer of 2017.
However, there are changes in the teams competing in VTB as Krasnye Krylia announced that it will not participate in the 2015-16 season. The team currently has a gym with less than 3.000 seats – the limit for a VTB club – and it will re-apply in the league after the summer of 2016 when new seats will be added to its gym.
