AX Armani Exchange Milan strengthened its backcourt by signing guard Stefano Tonut to a two-year deal, the club announced Saturday. Tonut (1.94 meters, 28 years old) arrives from Umana Reyer Venice, where he played the last seven seasons. He helped Reyer reach a new golden age with its first official titles in 74 years. Tonut won Italian League championships with Reyer in 2017 and 2019, lifted the FIBA Europe Cup in 2019 and claimed the Italian Cup in 2020.
