Nikita Kurbanov underwent surgery

The player was injured in the first quarter of the fourth game of the semifinal series against UNICS, but played to the end, eventually becoming the best rebounder (7) in the team. Upon returning to Moscow, Kurbanov underwent an examination at the GMS Clinic, which revealed a fracture. Nikita was prescribed surgery to fix the damaged bone.

The recovery period will be determined based on the results of interim studies.

The veteran of the red-blues is not only the club's record holder for the number of games played (805), but also a key rotation player, cementing CSKA's defensive formations. In all 49 games in which he participated in the 24-25 season, Kurbanov was in the starting lineup. In the current playoffs, he is second on the team in rebounds per game (4.1), second only to Tonye Jekiri (4.4).
