CSKA Moscow bolstered its backcourt by signing Allerik Freeman, who has been one of the best scorers in the 7DAYS EuroCup this season with Frutti Extra Bursaspor. The contract is for the remainder of the season. Freeman (1.90 meters, 27 years old) is fourth in the EuroCup in scoring with 19.6 points per game and second in the Turkish League with 20.3 points per game. Freeman made his Turkish Airlines EuroLeague debut in 2020 with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne and averaged 7.4 points, 1.2 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 18 appearances. He has also played for Shenzhen in the Chinese Basketball Association and Alba Fehervar of Hungary.
"I am happy and very glad to become a part of CSKA! To be able to wear the CSKA uniform and play for one of the most historic clubs is an honor! Ready to help the team in any way I can!"
"Freeman is bringing scoring abilities, the ability to create space and separation by being ready to drive to the basket or shoot from long distance, setting up his own shots or shots for his teammates," CSKA boss Dimitris Itoudis said. "He is at a good age and he has experience of playing in the EuroLeague for ASVEL. Obviously, he understands that he is coming to a team with many good players; healthy competition will help the team more. In the uncertain situation that we have with many players and coaches getting sick, we need a longer roster. Now it's on him and on us, teammates and coaches, to help him make a quick adjustment."
