Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
D-Nichols came to the team last year and proved to be a hard-worker, who earns every penny of his contract, every minute on the basketball court. He will play active on every offense, he will defend on every possession. I like his professionalism and dedication, intensity and big desire. Demetris really appreciates the chance to play for the team like CSKA, he is the kind of player we want to be on the team. He tries hard to be competitive every day, not only in the games but in practices as well. I am looking forward to continue working together next season.
Demetris Nichols, CSKA forward:
I’m very excited to receive another great opportunity to play and help this great organization. I’m grateful and thankful to be apart of CSKA. I believe we have unfinished business… I can’t wait to get back and work.
