Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade continued to strengthen its frontcourt with the signing of center Ebuka Izundu. The sides agreed on a one year deal with an option for another season.
Izundu (2.08 meters, 29 years old), who celebrated his birthday over the weekend, spent last season with Galatasaray Istanbul. He posted 9.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in the Basketball Champions League, and 10.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in Turkish League action.
A native of Nigeria, Izundu returns to Belgrade, where he was previously on Zvezda's radar when he was playing for the local side FMP. He spent two and a half seasons there, before going on a one-year stint with Oldenburg in Germany and then Galatasaray.
He is the second signing for Zvezda this offseason, after the club brought big man Chima Moneke on a two-year deal last week.
Izundu played collegiate basketball at the University of Miami for four years and then made his professional debut in 2019 with Betis Sevilla in Spain. He played half a season with Strasbourg in France, before joining FMP in January 2021.
