On Tuesday afternoon Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade made official a contrat extension with big man Joel Bolomboy until the summer of 2026.
Bolomboy arrived in Belgrade last summer and this is his first season with Zvezda. He is a solid starter with the team and in 22 appearances this season he averages 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals. His best game of the season was in Istanbul against Fenerbahce Beko. In that game, Bolomboy scored 24 points, and pulled 6 rebounds to lead his team to a 76-85 road win.
Bolomboy is currently in his sixth Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. He made his debut in 2018, as he played three straight seasons with CSKA Moscow, winning the title in that first campaign at the 2019 Final Four in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. In the summer of 2022 he moved to Greece, as he joined Olympiacos Piraeus, with which he reached the championship game, eventually falling to Real Madrid.
