After losing four games in a row (two in the Euroleague and two in the VTB United League), CSKA Moscow is looking for a way out of a difficult situation.
The club from the Russian capital has announced that it has signed a contract valid until the end of this season with tall American Michael Eric, who played for Turkey’s Ankara Turk Telekom team.
The 32-year-old 210cm tall basketball player will at least partially plug the hole that emerged from the lineup before the fall of Serbian Nikola Milutinov.
Eric will also be able to play in the Euroleague as he has not competed in this tournament this season. Still, the American is not without the greatest European club basketball experience.
He wears the shirt of Daruššafaka from Istanbul and Baskonia from Vitoria, with 57 games in the Euroleague, averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.7 shots. 2018-2019 in the season had even become the MVP of the 27th round, when he scored 22 points and grabbed 15 balls in a match with the Moscow region Chimki. With the Vitoria team, Eric was proclaimed champion of Spain last summer.
This season, in the Turkish championship, the American scored 11 points and bounced back after a 6.2 rebound during the game.
There is currently a short break in the Euroleague season due to the cup tournaments taking place in Europe this weekend. Russian elite teams do not play in their country’s cup competitions.
CSKA (14/6) ranks second in the Euroleague standings.
Without N. Milutinov, Tornike Shengelia and Will Clyburn are currently unable to play on the CSKA team, and Mike James has left for the United States to attend the funeral of a loved one.
