Thank you, Nikita!

The young basketball player's two-year period at CSKA ended with a 100% result: both seasons were "golden" for him and the team. He did not appear on the court very often, having played in a total of 36 games (2.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists in 7.9 minutes), however, at the end of the last season he earned a stable place in the roster and took part in seven of 13 games of the 2025 playoffs.

Andrey Vatutin, PBC CSKA President:

Nikita was and remains one of the most promising players in modern Russian basketball. We are still surprised by the negative reviews that we had to read about him in the period before joining CSKA. With us, he has proven himself to be a mature and skilled basketball player who works hard during practices and in his free time, clearly understands his role and interacts well with his teammates. We understand that now Mikhailovskii needs to put into practice all the invaluable experience he has gained while working under the guidance of our coaching staff and alongside high-class veterans. Therefore, we sincerely wish Nikita good luck and success in the new stage of his career and hope that he returns to CSKA in a new capacity.

Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

I’d like to thank Nikita for his hard work and exemplary attitude throughout the season. As he takes the next step in his career, this feels less like a goodbye and more like a 'see you again.' I wish him the best of luck and good health in all that lies ahead.

Nikita Mikhailovskii:

I would like to express my gratitude to the club management, coaching staff and medical staff for the opportunity to be part of such a big club as CSKA. Thanks to all my teammates with whom I spent these two victorious seasons for us, thanks to every employee of the club for their support and kindness, and, of course, a huge thank you to the fans, whose support led us to victories in away games and at home. All this will remain in my heart forever!
