Desyatnikov is well known to Russian fans for his performances for the Russian National Team, Zenit and Khimki. The center spent last season in the Superleague, where he played first for Dynamo from his native Vladivostok, and then for Samara. Andrey has been practicing with CSKA since the first days of the pre-season training camp. The contract with Desyatnikov is valid until December 1 with the possibility of extension until the end of the season.

Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:

Due to injuries, the absence of Serbian national team players and the difficult situation on the transfer market, we found ourselves shorthanded in the 1 and 5 positions. We consider the invitation of Dallas and Andrey, players with experience of playing at a high level, as a temporary measure and we continue to monitor the market. At the same time, we hope that both players will spend their period in the CSKA uniform with due motivation, that they will be able to reveal their potential, to become an important part of our team and to prove their right to stay here for a longer time.

Dallas Moore, CSKA guard:
