Zenit announced the inclusion of point guard Shabazz Napier in the team’s application.
The 30-year-old American has resumed training with the team and can take part in matches. The basketball player suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle in September 2021 in the final match of the VTB United League Super Cup against CSKA Moscow (73:81) and has not appeared on the court since. Napier moved to Zenit in July 2021.
