What happened to Kevin Pangos, who signed the contract, but never appeared in the team’s location? CSKA Moscow president Andrey Vatunin: By an amazing coincidence, we signed all the documents with Kevin on February 23rd.

Both sides continue to discuss the future. Here, again, an important role will be played by the possibility of our team playing in the Euroleague.
