Guard Anton Ponkrashov (25 years, 200 cm) signed a 2+1 contract with our club. The point guard spent 2 seasons in different periods with CSKA and we are glad to welcome Russian National Team player back.


Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
We needed the player who can cover both 1 and 2 spots. 2-meter guards, especially a point guards are a rarity, and Anton will make our offence more variative and he will simplify for us a process of building the defensive system. He spent good season in Spartak, he was notable for the National Team and we hope to get the significant help from him in CSKA.
