Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana strengthened its backcourt by inking point guard Umoja Gibson to a two-year deal, the club announced Sunday.
Gibson (1.85 meters, 26 years old) arrives from Spartak Office Shoes Subotica, where he averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 26 Adriatic League games last season. He was instrumental in helping the team reach the Serbian League finals.
After playing college basketball at the University of North Texas, the University of Oklahoma and De Paul University, Gibson began his professional career with German side Goettingen, where he averaged 14.4 points, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals in the 2023-24 campaign. He is set to make his BKT EuroCup debut with Cedevita next season.
"I feel great after signing with Cedevita Olimpija. During a conversation with my agent, I learned that the club has a rich basketball history. This is an important step forward in my career," Gibson said. "We will be playing in the EuroCup against top opponents, which I’m very excited about."
